Get ready to Rock Your Socks at our Lincoln Buddy Walk on March 14, 2026! Join families, friends, and community members as we celebrate individuals with Down syndrome, raise awareness, and support educational programs and advocacy for families across Nebraska. Every step helps make a difference!
Together we can create a louder single voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.
Create or join a team in honor of your favorite person with Down syndrome via the buttons below.   
You may notice this is a new walk website. Zeffy passes on 100% of the donations, to us, but they will ask you for an optional donation. You can pay what they suggest, or change the amount. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

As the semester wraps up, many families are receiving progress reports. These reports should clearly show whether your child is making progress toward their IEP goals—but that isn’t always the case.
We created a simple IEP Progress Report Checklist to help families:
✔ Compare progress reports to IEP goals
✔ Look for measurable progress (not vague language)
✔ Check that goals include a baseline and clear data
✔ Know when it’s time to ask questions or request a meeting
Advocating doesn’t mean being confrontational. It means being informed and partnering with your school to ensure your child is receiving a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
If something doesn’t seem right, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
