Youth and School Age

When your child turns three years old, your local school district begins to administer services for your child. But did you know that Summit DD is still here to offer support for your school-age child or teen? We have Referral and Support Specialists (RSSs) available to help you navigate the questions parents encounter and connect you to community resources to help support your child's needs.
