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.

Each year, the Annual Action Plan outlines specific action items that help Summit DD achieve the priorities identified in the long-range plan. The 2023 Action Plan focuses on addressing 16 action items to achieve the following three-year objectives:

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.

LRP Objective 3: Empower independence through access to technology, transition age support and meaningful day program/employment opportunities.

LRP Objective 4: Empower people to live in the community of their choice, as independently as possible, while maintaining health and safety.

LRP Objective 5: Capitalize on collaborations with community partners and providers to enhance services for children and adults with intensive needs.
