New Energy Saving Lights at the RPAC
Light fixture changes have been made in the RPAC gymnasiums to conserve energy, reduce costs, and improve your recreation experience. Lighting in the Upper, Tom W. Davis, North, and South Gymnasiums were switched from metal halide to fluorescent lighting. With this switch, the lighting in the upper and lower gyms will pay for themselves in 3.6 years, while the north and south gyms have a 3.5 year payback. Facilities and Operational Development partnered with the Department of Recreational Sports to provide the labor to change out the metal halide lights to fluorescent, which provided a cost savings.
Stop by and see the difference!

Seeking Children to Volunteer in Autism Study
Do you have a child between the ages of 6 and 10 or know someone who does? Occupational therapists at Ohio State are in need of volunteers between these ages with and without Autism Spectrum Disorders for a study in understanding sensory processing in children with autism. The study will research how children process sensory information and how this affects their behavior.
Children involved in the study will attend 2-3 study visits at Ohio State, each taking 1-2 hours. At the visits, the therapists will:
· Complete a hearing screen on your child
· Play sensory games, such as retrieving toys from sticky putty and listening to household sounds
· Ask you to complete a survey about your child’s typical response to touch, sound, movement, and other sensations
· Measure sensory processing using an electroencephalogram (EEG)
If your child has an Autism Spectrum Disorder, an Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) will also be completed.
Parking and gift cards for participation will be provided. For more information, contact Alison Lane at (614) 292-024 or lane.350@osu.edu
