Chris Larson
After high school, I attended the 18-21 year-old Functional/Vocational Program at my local high school. Now, I work at a daycare and love working with the kiddos and seeing them learn.
Outside of work, I enjoy being part of the Special Olympics, especially bowling and basketball. I also love to socialize, watch sports, and cheer for my favorite teams from Wisconsin and Notre Dame!
I attended my first NODCC Conference in 2024, where I made lots of new friends (including my good friend Connor), and I’m already looking forward to making even more friends at the next one.
ACC has been one of the several obstacles I have had to overcome since birth. I’m grateful for how far I’ve come and hope to continue to bring awareness to corpus callosum disorders – especially at future NODCC conferences – to shed light on how difficult life can be with this, but also show that any obstacle can be overcome with optimism, positivity, and hard work.
Lauri White
Lauri White was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has been married for
31 years and has 2 children, Chad and Taylor. She taught elementary school for
nearly 10 years, learning how to teach many children with different disabilities.
One of those children was her son, Chad, who has Complete ACC. During that
school year she learned many techniques to get Chad to comprehend information
and retrieve what he learned. Once Chad went to middle school, Lauri quit
teaching so she could tutor Chad after school each day, which she continued to
do through Chad’s college years. Watching him get his college diploma was quite
a special day. In her free time, Lauri spends time with family and friends, watching
Oklahoma Football and Softball, running her own Fantasy Football League, and
traveling.
Doreen Donohue DNP, RN
Doreen Donohue is a Registered Nurse with over 40 years of experience. She has held nursing operations positions in a variety of hospital settings. She is currently the Director, Office of Quality and Patient Safety for Joint Commission, a global driver of quality improvement and patient safety in health care. In her role she and her team are responsible for evaluating patient safety events globally. She received her Doctorate of Nursing Practice in Executive Leadership from the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
Doreen is the aunt to seven nieces and nephews. The youngest, Deegan (13) was diagnosed
with Hypoplasia of the Corpus Callosum at the age of 1 1⁄2. It is in her search for information that Doreen first became aware of NODCC. Her involvement was peripheral until 2025 when a call for board members was announced. It is her hope to assist the organization in disseminating advances within the medical community related to DCC.
Nate Barge
My name is Nate, and I’m proud to serve on the inaugural NODCC Board of Ambassadors. Diagnosed with complete ACC at birth, I became more aware of my condition around age seven and have since embraced advocacy and education through NODCC, which my family and I have been part of since 2001. The community has become like family to us, offering support, connection, and purpose. I’m passionate about helping others understand ACC and encouraging acceptance through shared experiences. Over the years, I’ve also spoken with families, professionals, and peers to help bridge the gap between lived experience and awareness. My advice to young ACCers and their families is to find a passion—mine was baseball. That love led me from playing and managing teams to earning a communications degree and now working in social media for Edgewood University’s baseball program.
Dennis Koenigs
Kim Manning
Kim Manning is actually on her second round of board service, and this is because she has been a part of the NODCC dating back to 1999 when the very first email list was put out! She is a fixture in our NODCC community, and like Jyothish, her child is 26 years old! Kim’s son, Will, has hypoplasia of the Corpus Callosum. Her most treasured part of being the on the board thus far has been watching the organization grow and meeting other families. When asked what upcoming initiatives she’s excited about, Kim shares, “The new website and helping other families through these changing times.” We love Kim’s practical outlook when asked about the benefits of investing your time and energy into the NODCC. She shares, “The ability to have community in this journey far outweighs the minimal investment of time that may be asked of you.” We couldn’t agree more. Our community is unmatched! Kim would love for everyone to know about the research we invest into NODCC’s research avenues, and not only the community-related elements so many are familiar with. Kim’s future goals for the organization are making sure we can offer tools to navigate the various systems and programs intended to help. Kim’s once-upon-a-time attendance at a conference “need for volunteers” breakfast sparked her activism in our organization, and now the rest is history!
Jyothish Daniel
Jyothish Daniel strongly believes the NODCC is a fabulous organization serving the needs of many families, and he’s right about that! Jyothish became acquainted with the NODCC circa 2003-2004. His daughter, who is now 26, has full Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum, and Jyothish was inspired to join the board because his family has been supporters of NODCC for many years. Gratefully, his professional schedule now allows for it. While Jyothish is just getting started on the board, he looks forward to helping the organization fulfill its goals and mission, especially because it serves the needs of so many. He wishes more people knew how many resources this organization can help people access. He hopes to assist in increasing membership and fundraising which will enable NODCC to do even more good for others in the coming years.
Hi! My name is Ilana, and I’m proud to serve as both an ambassador and a member of the Board of Directors for the NODCC. I was diagnosed in utero with partial Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum back in 1993 — something that was incredibly rare at the time. I always knew I had it, but it wasn’t until I was 24 and did a quick Google search that I truly began to understand what it meant. That moment led me to the NODCC, and my life instantly changed.
For someone born without the full structure that connects the two sides of the brain, I’ve somehow found some of the strongest connections through this community. The relationships I’ve formed are truly some of the best, and I’m so grateful for each of them.
I’m passionate about advocacy, connection, and helping others feel seen — whether through storytelling, humor, or simply being the person who listens when things get hard. Outside of this role, I love live music, making people laugh, and spending time with my chosen family, who are a constant source of encouragement and support. I believe that sharing our experiences helps break down stigmas and builds bridges. I’m honored to be part of a community rooted in heart, compassion, and a deep commitment to understanding one another.

She assists the board with organization and scheduling so that they can continue to lead and improve the NODCC! Outside of this role, Ella works as a research assistant, where she studies development in infants and kids with disorders of the corpus callosum.

Barbara Fonseca
Executive Director
Barbara Fonseca serves as the Executive Director for the National Organization for Disorders of the Corpus Callosum (NODCC). Her current duties include all accounting and finances for the NODCC, assisting the Board of Directors, maintaining records, coordinating and exhibiting at medical conferences, managing the NODCC e-mail, overseeing vendor developments, assists as regional “first responder” for the family support groups, and administration. Prior to working with NODCC, Barbara worked in the sales industry. She also has her own company, handling financial accounts and payroll for other companies.
In the summer of 2001, Barbara’s family and friends sponsored a 3-day conference at the Yorba Linda Community Center. The conference addressed the issues of living with DCC, brought families and professionals together, and inspired a group of individuals to form the NODCC in 2003.
Barbara’s passion for the NODCC is very personal, as her own son, Nathan, was diagnosed with a corpus callosum disorder at eight months old. The struggle she faced in having a lack of resources and information inspired her to help create the NODCC and its community. Barbara understood the number of families who are diagnosed and have nowhere else to turn and finds joy in helping families come together for education and support.

She continued her academic journey as a research coordinator at Caltech, where she worked alongside Dr. Lynn K. Paul, studying behavioral development in infants and children with agenesis of the corpus callosum. In 2018, Jasmin experienced her first NODCC conference which fueled her passion for working with individuals affected by disorders of the corpus callosum.

She would like to help them develop their voice just as she did when she attended her first conference. She has been involved in the Board of Directors since 2024 and is looking forward to helping the organization thrive.
Heather’s journey with disorders of the corpus callosum began when her daughter, Lillie, was diagnosed with isolated Complete ACC at 31 weeks pregnant. Despite initial uncertainties, Heather has actively shared Lillie’s journey through her social media platforms to provide hope and support to other families, connecting dozens of families to the NODCC over the past six years. Outside of her advocacy work, Heather enjoys spending time with her family, exploring hidden gems in her hometown of St. Louis, and traveling often to her favorite place, Walt Disney World.
Over the past year, Heather started volunteering with the NODCC Community Group and played a pivotal role in establishing the C.A.R.E. Squad pilot, which connects mothers of similarly aged children with DCC. This initiative has been a vital support network for many, and we are excited to see it expand more broadly this fall.
