Pathways of Support-A retreat for dads of individuals with unique needs
We welcome dads from the entire state of Ohio for this first time offered retreat. Pathways for Pops was launched in May 2024 and thorough this partnership with the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD), we have connected with so many fathers of individuals with unique needs. Our keynote speaker is Rob Snow, father of Henry who has Down syndrome, age 15. Watch social media and emails for more details for the full agenda.
The goal of this event is for fathers of individuals with developmental disabilities to socialize and connect.
SCHOLARSHIPS Available: DSANEO does not want
