The Kennedy Krieger School Program includes a number of programs that offer services to children with learning challenges.  Students aged 5-21 receive instruction that focuses on the development of academic, social, emotional, and behavioral skills in an environment that recognizes and capitalizes on the individual strengths of each child.

In addition, a full range of related services is also provided to implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) in the least restrictive environment. Special education services focus on the development of academic, social, emotional, and behavioral skills through trans-disciplinary comprehensive instruction in an environment that recognizes and capitalizes on the individual strengths of each child.
