A person’s path to employment can be complex, especially for those with disabilities.

To meet people where they are, Summit DD’s Community Supports and Development team partnered with the local day program provider, Teammates to offer a program called Employment Engagement. These on-site employment learning sessions help participants gain knowledge in a familiar environment, so they can then make informed decisions about their own path to employment. Read More ›

Winter Storm Watch: Tips and Resources
A big winter storm is about to hit Summit County over the next few days. We want to give you the tips and resources you need to stay safe, as well as keep you informed on any closings at provider agencies. Below, is a general Emergency Preparedness article and a winter safety guide from the Ohio Committee for Severe Weather Awareness. We’ve also added a list of Warming Centers throughout Northeast Ohio in case you need a safe haven from the elements.
As for provider agency closings, we will be closely monitoring social media over the next 24-48 hours to quickly re-share that information on the Summit DD Facebook Page. Stay up to date here!
Most importantly, stay warm and stay safe!
Message from the Superintendent
Dear Summit DD Partners & Supporters,
Another year has come and gone. As I reflect on my first year serving as Superintendent of Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board, I can’t help but think of the many people and partners whose contributions assisted us in achieving our Mission. While this year has not been without its challenges, we have had many successes as well. I believe that 2023 will present more opportunities for innovation and successful outcomes for people with developmental disabilities living in Summit County. Read More ›

2022 Action Plan – 2nd Quarter Report to the Community
To reach larger Agency goals, Summit DD uses a longer-term, three-year planning cycle called the Long-Range Plan (LRP). Each year, the LRP is broken down into actionable items, known as the Action Plan, to gauge progress. Our 2022 Action Plan is the first year of the 2022–2024 Long-Range Plan. Find the full plans in the Publications section of our website.
As part of our commitment to the people and community we serve, we’ve put together a report to the community. Below are some highlights of our progress on these goals through June 2022. Read More ›
