Philosophy

We believe that people with disabilities have the right to control their own lives and enjoy the same opportunities as all other citizens. This includes the right to:

• Make their own decisions and direct their own affairs,

• Have a family life,

• Have choice in services, transportation, housing, education and employment,

• Participate fully in the social, economic and political life in their communities, and

• Contribute their unique talents and abilities as respected members of their communities

Mission

Summit's mission is to promote community awareness, equal access, and the independence of people with disabilities through advocacy, education, and the advancement of civil rights.
