The Ohio Charting the LifeCourse Showcase is growing into the Charting the LifeCourse Ohio Summit. We’re keeping what people have loved about the Showcase, real Ohio stories, practical ideas, and opportunities to connect, while creating a more interactive day built around short presentations, panels, and examples of Charting the LifeCourse in action. |
|
| Across Ohio, people are using Charting the LifeCourse to imagine possibilities, solve problems, build supports, and move toward their good life.
This year, we’re sharing the voices behind the work. Hear from self-advocates, families, educators, professionals, and community partners about why Charting the LifeCourse matters to them and what it has changed in their lives, work, and communities. |
