Little Buddies Family Listening Session

Monday, November 2, 2026
6 – 7:30 PM

Westerville Community Center
350 N. Cleveland Ave | Westerville, OH 43082

We want to hear from you! Join other DSACO Little Buddies families for a special conversation about what it is like raising a young child with a disability in Ohio.

As part of ElevateDD’s statewide listening work, we are partnering with Groundwork Ohio to hear directly from families of children with Down syndrome age 5 and under. We want to learn what is going well, where families are running into challenges, how easy or difficult it is to find and navigate services and resources, and what you hope for your child and family in the years ahead.

Pizza will be provided, and participating families will receive a stipend from Groundwork Ohio in appreciation for their time and perspective. Child care is not being offered for this listening session.

The conversation will be recorded, with consent, to help us accurately capture what families tell us. What we hear will help inform future advocacy, partnerships, and policy work focused on young children with Down syndrome and their families.

Space is limited, so please register by Wednesday, October 28.
