At The Summit Center, we know autism.
The Summit Center offers a range of programs to support children, adults, and families navigating the complex challenges of autism spectrum disorder.
Your Give 716 donation is critical to sustaining our growing programs and providing the tools individuals need to reach their greatest potential. Earlier this year, our special education school, Summit Academy, began serving 100 additional students. Summit Academy now serves 450 children and young adults across five locations.
Summit Academy provides a 12-month school experience, with special education teachers, speech therapists, adaptive physical education instructors, and other professionals. We deliver tailored supports to each and every student, fostering lifelong learning and greater independence.
Support vibrant leisure spaces
The leisure lounges at Hazelwood and Elmwood will provide students with the opportunity to further explore and develop their personal leisure skills. These inviting spaces will foster social interactions, strengthen peer relationships, and enhance communication among students, peers, and staff. Additionally, they will serve as a hub for student clubs, group instruction, and creative pursuits in arts and music.
Double your impact
The DeMarti Family is matching up to $6,000 in donations during Give 716. That means every dollar you give will be matched, doubling your impact to create supportive leisure spaces for children with autism.
You can help individuals with autism thrive by donating on Give 716 Day.
Guided by evidence-based practice, we maximize life success for people facing developmental, social, and behavioral challenges. Our methodology is based on applied behavior analysis therapy, which has been identified by hundreds of scientific studies as the most effective method to teach individuals with autism.
We are dedicated to helping every individual achieve the highest level of personal independence.
