We are so grateful for our board members, sponsors, staff, students, and families! Thank you for making CEID's 21st Annual Walk-A-Thon a success!

Huge thanks to for an amazing day! Our children had a blast exploring and playing in this incredible inclusive space. SPL is perfect for children ages 18 months to 8 years, allowing them to play their own way. It’s wonderful to see a place where disabled, neurodivergent, and behaviorally different children can be themselves and enjoy authentic play. 💖

Sneak Peek:
Young children love to have a big kid to look up to,” explains Cindy Dickeson, the CEID’s executive director. “Their eyes light up every time the third-graders arrive.

“In return, our kids are helping them practice the signs they’ve learned — two groups of students connecting over sign language and play and being excited to make a friendship with a new person.”
