My daughter came to the Summerhouse after many years of pressure to complete academic and social tasks that were meaningless to her. When I searched for a post-high school program, it was apparent there was a void in options that both support and teach young people with intellectual disabilities during their transition into adult life. The Summerhouse does it all.....provides comprehensive, individualized programs that not only allow my daughter to progress and continue her education but within a respectful environment by a dedicated professional staff. I thank God every day for The Summerhouse!
