KENNEDY KRIEGER INSTITUTE Unlocking Potential, One Child at a Time

One in six children in the U.S. has a brain disorder, disease or injury. That’s more than 12 million kids. At Kennedy Krieger Institute, we’re working to change that, through research, clinical trials and exceptional, interdisciplinary patient care.

Programs and Resources

We’re focused almost exclusively on diseases and disorders of the brain and spinal cord—everything “neuro.” We also treat diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Each child is matched with a specific care plan, which can include an interdisciplinary care team and a customized treatment plan.

We have an inpatient hospital and outpatient centers for both medical treatment and rehabilitation.

Our 16-bed Neurobehavioral Unit is one of the only programs in the country treating children with severe behavioral disorders.

Our Specialized Transition Program operates as a day hospital, offering children the therapies and medical treatments they need as well as classroom instruction.

Community programs and resources include our Center for Child and Family Traumatic Stress, the Interactive Autism Network and Project HEAL. Through our Resource Finder, we help patient families learn more about available resources to help with at-home care, transportation and other needs.

Several of our programs offer therapeutic and educational services for at-risk infants and toddlers.

The Maryland Center for Developmental Disabilities at Kennedy Krieger Institute focuses on professional training, community service, information dissemination, and research.

SPECIAL EDUCATION Schools and Programs

Our scientists are advancing the understanding, treatment and prevention of neurological disorders, diseases and injuries.

We educate highly complex children—in some cases, our students have been unable to receive services anywhere else.

More than 200 active grants fuel current Institute research. Eighty percent of our studies involve human trials, which can help patients who don’t respond to commercially available treatments.

Our school programs include a lower/middle and a high school, two specialized programs for children and teens (up to age 21) with autism (LEAP and a D.C.area school), and classrooms in public schools in Anne Arundel and Prince George’s counties.

We draw on our invaluable academic affiliation with The Johns Hopkins University, which we’ve maintained since 1967.

In 2017, we educated more than 900 trainees in 14 disciplines, including special education, public health and neurodevelopment.

Here’s a look at what four of our more than 140 faculty and research faculty members are doing today:

Dr. Kathryn Wagner, who directs the Center for Genetic Muscle Disorders, wants to change the ultimately fatal outcome for kids with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Our school interdisciplinary teams include teachers, nurses, specialists and therapists from a variety of fields. This ensures a collaborative approach to our students’ success.

Our schools run for 11 months a year and serve a variety of student needs. Some students prepare to return to their home schools, while others work toward a diploma or certificate of completion.
