"My parents would simply throw me in Lake Geneva, or in a swimming pool, and I had to learn how to swim....A lot of other parents who had children with cerebral palsy were rather shy about that. They weren't sure. They were afraid their children would drown." Former Institute patient Peter Riddleberger talks about the dedication and resilience he sees in the parents of Kennedy Krieger patients -- a quality that reflects the Institute's approach to patient care programs -- and the state-of-the-art equipment current patients have available to them, including the aquatic therapy pool at the Institute's Outpatient Center located at 801 North Broadway in downtown Baltimore.
