Childrens Program

 

An interactive full-day program designed by clinic staff to inspire & instruct school-aged children with PKU & Allied disorders and their siblings.  Through special activities, inside & outside (weather permitting a hayride), children will learn & support one another as they discover new ways to cope with diet management, express themselves with peers & handle social situations.  Participants have the opportunity to learn, share & discover what is new from staff & vendors.

There are opportunities within for siblings in this same age group who do not have PKU or an allied disorder to be included in the overall Children’s Program.  They will have a separate session to meet, obtain information and receive support as they share feelings which are uniquely theirs.  Participants will learn from one another, ask questions and explore ways to cope with the challenges of metabolic diets at home, school and various social settings.
