Services for Adults

Adults face many decisions in life, such as where to work, where to live, what interests to pursue, which friends to spend time with, or how to make ends meet on a limited budget. Adults with developmental disabilities are no different. Summit DD uses a person-centered planning approach to create your Individual Service Plan, or ISP. We listen to people’s goals and strive to make the meaningful connections to resources that will offer you the best chance at success.

Many of us are fortunate to have a support system of close friends or family who can step in and make important decisions about our lives if we could not make those decisions for ourselves. Unfortunately, not everyone is that lucky. In some cases, an individual’s main caretaker passes away before them. Others may not have loved ones nearby to be their voice.
