Blue-Out at the Ballpark was a night to remember! Our Neurodiversity at Work team partnered with the Aberdeen IronBirds for an incredible evening of baseball, community, and inclusion.

Thank you to everyone who came out, wore blue, and stood with us in support! 💙⚾
A smiling person stands between two IronBirds baseball mascots in a stadium. The mascot on the left wears a blue jersey with the number 75 and a cap, while the mascot on the right wears a blue jersey with the number 00, orange sunglasses, and orange socks. The person wears a blue 'ROARed for Kids' t-shirt and white shorts. Stadium seating and part of the field are visible in the background. Three people sit in a broadcast booth at a baseball stadium, surrounded by microphones, computers, and equipment. One person in an orange shirt and beige cap speaks into a microphone while holding a paper. A large window behind them shows the baseball field, stands with spectators, and a partly cloudy sky with trees beyond the stadium.

Check this out!

A group of our nurses visited the @baltimoreravens.bsky.social training camp to watch the team prepare for the upcoming football season. Thank you, Ravens players and staff, for giving our Kennedy Krieger team a day to remember! Let’s go, Ravens!
A group of ten people pose together outside on a sunny day at a Baltimore Ravens-themed event. The group includes staff members, the Ravens mascot Poe, and two Ravens cheerleaders holding yellow and purple pom-poms. Many in the group are wearing purple Kennedy Krieger shirts or Ravens apparel, standing in front of a decorative Ravens backdrop.

They are all wearing matching white athletic shirts with red logos. Some athletes are standing while others are seated or in sports wheelchairs. Everyone is smiling, and the background includes a tree, grassy area, and a blue sports court.

Thank you to our friends at CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield for volunteering at Kennedy Krieger as part of their Week of Equity & Action volunteer day!

They took part in empathy training, created book pages and care packages, and assembled blankets for those staying in our inpatient hospital.
A large group of CareFirst employees wearing matching navy blue t-shirts pose together on a staircase inside a modern building with tall windows. Several members at the front hold a colorful sign that reads, “We Learn, Grow and Thrive Together – WEA 2025. Two smiling CareFirst employees stand beside a table inside a conference room, working on a yellow fleece blanket with a bee and honeycomb pattern. They are participating in a hands-on volunteer activity.

All aboard!

During their recent stop in the Inner Harbor, the Impossible Dream catamaran—an accessible sailboat dedicated to improving quality of life for people with disabilities—welcomed patients and families from our International Center for Spinal Cord Injury for an unforgettable day.
Three people smile on the deck of a sailboat, including one person using a power wheelchair. The boat is sailing on a cloudy day. A man in a wheelchair sits on the deck of a boat, smiling, with water and shipping cranes visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

Spend a day in the life with Lainey!

She is one of our incredible patients and she shared a glimpse of her time here during her fourth inpatient stay at Kennedy Krieger. With support from her recreational therapists, Lainey and her dad took a special therapeutic trip to the National Aquarium!
