Meet Nolan, a Kennedy Krieger patient with cerebral palsy. Following a difficulty at birth, Nolan developed a brain bleed that affects one half of his body. The muscles on one side of Nolan's body are tighter than the other, making walking and standing difficult. When coming to Kennedy Krieger, Nolan was enrolled in the Specialized Treatment Program. Using the PediaCORE system has allowed Nolan to reach and stretch in ways he hasn't before, and strengthen his muscles. Kennedy Krieger has provided Nolan and his family with a stepping stone to a brighter future.
With more than 20 locations located in Maryland, the non-profit Kennedy Krieger Institute has been providing specialized research, education and healthcare services to children and families for more than 80 years.
