DETAILS

Unfortunately, this event has been cancelled due to low registration. Learn, Lunch & Laugh is a program designed to educate parents and caregivers about a topic related to spina bifida while their children are supervised nearby, enjoying fun activities together. Our second Learn, Lunch & Laugh in Cleveland takes us to Lake Metroparks Farmpark. At this session, Dr. Irene Dietz, Developmental Pediatrician and Director of Comprehensive Care at MetroHealth, will discuss early child development through age 5. In this presentation, she will touch on developmental milestones, developmental delays common in children with spina bifida, and developmentally appropriate activities families can use to encourage development and increase independence. Children will explore the farm and participate in an animal program with volunteers, while parents gather in the Pond Pavilion for the presentation. Afterward, everyone will join together for lunch in the Pond Pavilion. Our goal is to provide one volunteer to accompany each child with spina bifida on the farm. Siblings will be attended by the same volunteer, unless otherwise requested. Please contact Diane at diane.burns@sb-coalition.org if you have questions. DON'T WAIT TO REGISTER! This session is limited to 30 people. Because of this, each family is asked to register no more than four family members. Please note the ticket type at the top of the box when prompted to add names of attendees during registration, i.e., Parent, Child, Sibling.
