  • Hey Dads! Check out this survey from Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities! Your input could help inform state level decisions for support for children with developmental disabilities:
    From the department about the survey
    “The Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities continues to build on a collaboration among state agencies, communities, and other networks to ensure fathers of children with developmental disabilities are supported, engaged, and empowered. As work moves forward, we want to know: What are fathers’ current perspectives? What are fathers’ experiences in systems that support their child with developmental disabilities? What do fathers want? What do fathers need? How do systems and organizations best support fathers of children with developmental disabilities?
    If you are an Ohio father of a child or children of any age with a developmental disability, please take the short A Dad’s Perspective survey to share your experiences.
    The 2025 A Dad’s Perspective survey will be open until March 31.”
