WINTER 2017 SESSION NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2017 The COLLEGE FOR LIVING gives opportunities throughout the year for individuals with developmental disabilities to take part in and explore the many local resources available in the community. Funded through Summit DD, this program offers citizens with disabilities a wide variety of activities to socialize, explore hobbies, or discover new interests. As the primary force in the community dedicated to inclusion, Summit DD believes that communities are stronger when they include everyone – with or without a disability. Discover more about Summit DD at www.SummitDD.org. The Blick Center is a private, nonprofit, outpatient clinic that began in 1969 with a group of parents of children with developmental disabilities and a few volunteer professionals. Together, they developed the Clinic into a single, comprehensive source of diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and support group services to persons with developmental disabilities. For more information, visit their website at www.blickcenter.org. If you would like to receive this brochure via email, send your request to
