We Want Your Feedback: 2023 Action Items

Summit DD considers data and input from those we serve, families, providers, the community, and employees to develop the three-year long-range plan. Summit DD is currently in the second year of the three-year plan that runs from 2023-2024.

LRP Objective 1: Using evidence-based best practices, deliver in-person and virtual Early Intervention Services that support the individual outcomes of each child and family.

LRP Objective 2: Implement person-centered thinking initiatives.
