Kids in Action CN

Kids in Action is a FREE adaptive sports and recreation activities program for children and young adults with disabilities.

Kids in Action began as an avenue for children with disabilities to participate in structured social and physical activities in the community. As our patients can move through different health care settings, often beginning in an acute care facility and then transitioning to rehab and outpatient therapy, it was identified by many of the families that there was a lack of options for their children to participate in social and physical activities. Parents were concerned that their children would lose newly acquired skills that were recently achieved through their therapy services. As a result, Kids in Action was designed for outpatients and former patients at Children's National Rehabilitation & Specialized Care (formerly The HSC Pediatric Center), along with other children in the DC metro community. The program offers year-round adaptive team sports, social events and health classes for children with disabilities, ages 4 and up in the DC area (including Northern Virginia and Maryland). The program is entirely free to all participants, and siblings are encouraged to participate. All abilities are welcomed, as necessary adaptations are made so everyone can participate, and events are supervised by recreation therapists.

🎃BOO! Happy Halloween to all! 👻

Happy Halloween to all our spooky, brave, and boo-tiful All-Stars and their families! Wishing everyone a safe day and night filled with treats, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

This year, our Kids in Action crew had a spooktacular time celebrating with our All-Stars and their siblings! From creepy crafts and ghoulish cookie decorating 🍪 to Captain America’s Shield Toss 🛡️ scary active games and Halloween Bingo, there was fun around every corner!

Our annual costume parade marched and rolled proudly down to the neighborhood park- costumes were cute, spooky, scary, funny, and everything in between! The sun was shining, the pumpkin patch was in full swing 🎃, and there were smiles, friends, and family all around! Check out all the fun that was had in the pics below 👇...

A huge shout out to Heroes for Heroes Washington D.C. and our amazing Georgetown University volunteers for joining in on the spooky fun- for your smiles and passion. 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

📸 We’d love to see your costumes too! Drop your Halloween photos in the comments below and help us keep the Halloween spirit alive a little longer- AND for a chance to win a gift card!

🤩Our 3-Week Adaptive Cheer Clinic was all about inclusion, teamwork, and pure joy!

We are so grateful and thankful for a special collaboration with the ADC All Starz Cheerleaders! They were incredible- they jumped right in as buddies and mentors for our amazing Kids in Action All-Stars.

From big smiles to high-fives and nonstop spirit, these athletes proved that cheer truly is for everyone!
