Each day, the researchers, clinicians, staff and students of The Ohio State University Nisonger Center change the lives of children, adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities (intellectual disability, autism, Asperger syndrome and others). Many of these accomplishments would not be possible without funding from various sources including the generous support of you – our friends and community leaders.
