Every kid has the right to be a kid. That's why Special Love gives children and young adults with cancer and their families a chance to enjoy normal childhood activities that healthy kids often take for granted. From week-long camps, like Camp Fantastic and BRASS Camp (for siblings), to weekend retreats for families, teens, and young adults, Special Love's programs represent a community of support that shows kids with cancer and their families that they are not alone. http://www.specialneedskidsinfo.com/marylandlocalresources7.html

Intensive Early Intervention and Preschool
CSAAC’s Intensive Early Intervention (IEI) program is an applied behavior analysis program based on a method developed by Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas at UCLA in early intervention and discrete trial training for individuals with autism. CSAAC’s IEI program serves children, age 17 months to 10, who receive between 6 to 30 hours of weekly, one-to-one intervention in their home as part of a long-term, comprehensive, and results-oriented treatment program for children with developmental disabilities.
The intervention focuses on building language, social, academic, and self-help/daily living skills and includes a licensed psychologist and special educator who lead a team of behavioral technicians, who are undergraduate and graduate psychology students. Children are taught language and social skills that children without autism learn naturally.

Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8 Voucher Program)* :
This rental assistance is provided by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). You may be eligible for rental assistance which can lower the amount of money you spend on housing. The program is administered through local Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that provide rental subsidies to very low-income households.
Rental Allowance Program (RAP) is a state administered program that funds local governments to provide flat rent subsidies to low-income families who either are homeless or have an emergency housing need. The goal of this program is to enable households to move from homelessness or temporary emergency housing into more permanent housing. This program provides a monthly rental allowance payment for up to 12 months. http://www.mdod.state.md.us/Renting.aspx?id=208

Aunt Hattie's Place is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe, stable, nurturing, and long-term home for abused, abandoned, and neglected children in foster care.
AHP currently provides a home to 22 young boys, 15-20 years old with the capacity to house 26 residents. These children, lovingly called "SuperKids", come to AHP with a wide variety of psychological and behavioral problems, as well as, poor academic records. They usually have a sense of hopelessness, lack of respect for authority, and a general negative outlook on their future. These problems typically are associated with feelings of loss and anger resulting from their parents' vicious cycle of substance abuse and/or incarceration, and are exacerbated by the stigma identified with being in foster care.

Elkind & Shea has been established to serve the needs of those who are in need of disability benefits. The practice of disability law is very complicated and requires careful attention to changing law and practices of private insurers and government agencies, especially the Social
Security Administration. This narrow focus allows our attorneys to provide our clients with the highest quality representation, information and advice concerning their rights to disability benefits. Our attorneys have successfully handled thousands of disability cases and have the requisite skill and experience to assist in any disability benefits case.
Although the firm concentrates its Social Security and state disability practice in the jurisdictions of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, its attorneys have engaged in long term disability work (private and ERISA) throughout the United States.
The firm works with clients to construct fee structures to suit their needs and abilities to pay.
Depending on the case, we may be able to offer a retainer agreement on a contingent or hourly basis, or even a combination of both.
Let us discuss with you how we can protect your legal rights. Our phone and e-mail consultations are free. http://www.disabilitybenefitslawfirm.com/?gclid=CPaDnLfU8rMCFQWe4AodD00A3w

Councils in Baltimore City/County and Western Maryland. Education Programs BIAM’s preeminent event is our Annual Two-day Educational Conference traditional held in the spring.

The impetus to create the Chesapeake-Potomac Spina Bifida Association came from parents of local chapters and professionals from the regional spina bifida centers concerned about the unmet needs of their children and adults with spina bifida. The organizers met in 1993 and began an effort to create a regional association to provide coordinated medical, educational, vocational and social services to individuals with spina bifida. In 1997, the association became a 501(c) 3 organization serving individuals with spina bifida and their families in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. http://www.specialneedskidsinfo.com/marylandlocalresources2.html
