My name is Krista Leininger, and this is my third year serving the Worthington City School District as a Physical Therapist.  I have been a PT for 22 years, all of those years spent in pediatrics.  I received my degree from THE Ohio State University--GO BUCKS!!!!  I have had the privilege of working in Early Intervention, preschool, school-age, hospital, and home health settings, all of which have helped me build a tremendous appreciation for the role that motor movement plays in child development.  I have three boys: Nathan, who plays baseball at The University of Toledo; Markus, who plays baseball and basketball in the 9th grade; and Brady, who plays baseball in the 6th grade.  I look forward to another great year with all the students!  Thank you for sharing them with us!
