Inclusive Opportunities at the Event

DSACO promotes inclusion and in order to fully include all at the Columbus Buddy Walk, we are working to create spaces for individuals who may have additional needs to attend the event. Please see our inclusive spaces we plan on having at the event. If you have suggestions to provide a more inclusive space at the Columbus Buddy Walk, please contact us at buddywalk@dsaco.net

Inclusive Spaces: 

  • Sensory Room: If you need some quiet time or a break from the hustle and bustle of the Buddy Walk, stop by the Sensory Room located inside the building off the Courtyard at Fortress Obetz. This quiet, air-conditioned space will offer a variety of low-tech solutions to support sensory needs, including puzzles,  soft surfaces, and other sensory supports thanks to our friends at The Gab Lab. 
  • Adult Changing Table: Thanks to the support of the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities, the 2024 Columbus Buddy Walk will feature an Adult Changing Table at the event. Exact location to be determined, check back for an update!

More updates coming soon, check back for updates!
