With the support received from the US Maternal & Child Health Bureau Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) grant # T73MC24481 to The Ohio State University Nisonger Center (Dr. Andrea Witwer, PI), we can offer this webinar free-of-charge to all attendees.
The Nisonger Institute is an annual conference with a focus on research-to-practice activity. It had always been an in-person event prior to the COVID pandemic. Since, we have hosted the Nisonger Institute as a virtual webinar – providing more flexibility to our speakers and attendees, although, we do not preclude returning to an in-person format in the future.
The Nisonger Institute is an opportunity for professionals from different disciplines, direct support professionals, parents, siblings, individuals with lived DD experience, and other stakeholders to come together to share research, clinical, educational, and other relevant information related to a topic of concern for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. At the Nisogner Institute, we strive to provide an opportunity for all who attend to learn about current scientific knowledge and know-how and to provide examples of best practices around the country and right here in Ohio.
For more than 55 years, the Nisonger Center, a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, has provided services and supports, community engagement, education/training, and research in the area of intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder and related neurodevelopmental disorders across the lifespan. Now in its 14th year, the Nisonger Institute strives to bring together nationally prominent translational researchers, practitioners, and community advocates to share and exchange with the goal of improving services/supports and the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families.
