Nonprofit Kindering continues to serve disabled children amid pandemic

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- While so many are now having to learn to home-school their children, with the aid of teachers via Zoom and other video conferencing apps, some families are dealing with that, on top of helping their children learn to do things like walk without the aid of braces or a wheelchair.

The local nonprofit Kindering is determined to keep helping as many families and their disabled children as possible continue to flourish even while in quarantine.

"We serve all children, any kind of developmental delay or identified disability, children who may just not be walking yet or talking yet, who are just a little behind on development, to children with Down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and everything in between," says Kindering CEO Dr. Lisa Greenwald.

Greenwald says when COVID-19 hit, the nonprofit was ready.

"These children desperately need and deserve these services. We've conducted over 4,500 tele-therapy sessions since March 1," she says.
