The Kids on the Block is a troupe of very likable puppets, with and without disabilities, designed to teach children about differences in people. Disabilities include ADHD, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness, Mental Retardation and Hearing Impaired.
The goal of this program is to help children better understand their classmates with disabilities and to appreciate that we are all more alike than different. The KIDS can teach children in your school or community group to accept and appreciate the differences among us. This program is offered at no cost to all schools, scouting groups or other organizations throughout Erie County.
