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.

Your SSA or RSS can connect you to providers or natural supports in your life that will help support your needs and goals.

There are a variety of other services and opportunities available – in fact, too many to list. We encourage you to talk with your SSA or RSS about what’s important to you, so he or she can help build a plan with services that meet your unique needs and goals.
