The Child and Family Support Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute is an interdisciplinary program dedicated to providing comprehensive, early intervention care for children and families in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The center takes a family-directed approach to care, supporting families in setting their own goals for the services they receive.
Our occupational therapists, physical therapists and speech-language pathologists work with children from birth through age 5, while our mental health counselors work with children of any age, as well as with parents and guardians who have a child receiving services at Kennedy Krieger. Together, our therapists, speech-language pathologists and counselors collaborate to help young children pursue all that’s possible.
We provide individual and group therapies, with services offered at our clinic, in the home, through telehealth and in the community. We also assist families with service coordination through the Baltimore Infants and Toddlers Program (for families residing in Baltimore City only—not available to Baltimore County residents). And we offer early intervention programs focused exclusively on serving the Latino and Orthodox Jewish communities of Baltimore City.
As a family-focused program, we understand that parents and guardians are the experts when it comes to caring for their children. We are dedicated to helping parents and guardians understand, participate in and guide their children’s care.
