Summerhouse Houston (SHH) supports adults with IDD, their families, and our community through employment, volunteerism and partnerships to foster a culture of belonging, choice, and respect. SHH distinctively focuses on young adults with intellectual disabilities and/or autism post-high school. These vulnerable people are transitioning from a structural high school environment into adulthood where they must engage in the responsibility of organizing their lives. Our goal is to provide services early in adulthood to help our members gain greater self-sufficiency and reduce their dependency on governmental assistance.
SHH provides vocational exploration and training, employment, life skills, advocacy, communication and socialization, and self-determination. Using these fundamental principles, SHH has built a creative and compelling program that has changed and touched the lives of our members and their families.
