  1. Nisonger Center has been an important part of our lives. As a peer-model in the Early Childhood Education Program, my son was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 4. He’s since participated in ADHD research studies at the Center that have helped him tremendously. I can’t say enough positive things about the Faculty & Staff within the ECE Program, the Clinical Trials team… and our experience(s) within each. It’s clear that Nisonger Center lives out its mission each and every day as it supports families and individuals at a critical time in life. Nisonger Center is a valuable resource in the Central Ohio community.

  2. My experience at Nisonger as a GRA and student was the foundation of my entire professional life. My work with Barb Edmonson was incredible and introduced me to the world of individuals with disabilities who lived in institutional settings. Our research and programatic interventions transformed the lives of individuals who were living on a locked unit with few options for socialization. I will never forget when we brought 8 individuals to Nisonger to film our socialization groups. They all had behavioral challenges and had never been to the university! We were nervous that individuals would have difficulty coping with the studio and filming but they were all so happy to be there.and performed brilliantly. I sincerely appreciate the many special people who contributed to my amazing experiences including Dr. Leland, Bill Loadman, Dave Hammer and many other staff and students.

  3. When my daughter started attending Nisonger in August of 2014 she was speech delayed at 16 months she didn’t have words, and avoided messy play. Over the summer she got diagnosed with sensory processing disorder, they have helped her talk, she now says 3 word sentences and will touch many different objects, including this dinner roll dough. I have seen her blossom, from the wonderful care she receives from all of the staff.
