 Our program for
Neurodiverse Young Adults 

Summit-Campus-37 Fruit St, Worcester, MA.jpg
The Summit Campus provides an individualized residential living experience for young adults with autism, along with related diagnoses.  

Located at 37 Fruit Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, Summit Campus is in the historical Elm Park district which is a walkable neighborhood to local stores, restaurants and attractions. Just a bus ride away from downtown Worcester, our residents can experience many cultural and community events as well as theater and sports. 

​

We recognize that living away from home presents challenges, especially those who identify as neurodiverse.  The residence is staffed by trained personnel who adapt our residential curriculum to meet your child's level and will enrich their ability to navigate college and community living.  Executive function coaching is integrated into residents' daily routine. 


Our mission is for each resident to achieve their full potential in overall independence and responsibility.  The Campus programming supports training in self-determination, career preparation, life skills, financial literacy, and community access.
​
If you would like more information or you would like to schedule an appointment with our Campus Director, please email us at nkoppel@summitagencyma.com and/or call us at (774) 701-0673.


We look forward to hearing from you!
