Aspirations Ohio

Aspirations Ohio Nisonger Aspirations is an organization name for a group that provides support and service to individuals on the Autism Spectrum.

Aspirations is a social and vocational skills support group for high functioning young adults (13-30 years) on the autism spectrum. Aspirations is designed to provide the opportunity to discuss and learn about social and vocational experiences in a small group setting of maybe six or seven other individuals. Two experienced group leaders facilitate an atmosphere of acceptance and support as partic

ipants develop self-awareness, social insight, and vocational success strategies. Aspirations also provides an opportunity for group members to meet others on the autism spectrum and gain support and understanding from one another. Participants are encouraged to develop friendships with other group members. The program was established in 2002 by the Department of Neurology and The Ohio State University Nisonger Center. Aspirations runs for eight weeks and meets once a week from 6.30-7.30pm at The Ohio State University. We run the program three times a year. We charge $300 for the eight weeks (which
includes ongoing monthly reunions) to cover costs of the group. After the eight week program, individuals join the monthly reunions where we now have around twenty young adults from previous groups in regular attendance. The reunions give the group members the opportunity to meet and socialize with a large group of young adults on the autism spectrum, and to practice the skills they learned during the eight week program. A number of our group members have made friends and meet up outside of Aspirations. We also have a parent support group run by parents for those who have children in the Aspirations program. While their child is in the eight week program parents meet weekly at the same time and have the opportunity to talk and share useful information. After the eight week program parents also join a larger monthly support group and meet parents from previous Aspirations groups. The monthly parent meetings often involve outside speakers on topics such as independent living, service eligibility etc.
