The Bethany Children’s Health Center noticed there weren’t a lot of opportunities for children with disabilities to take part in the tradition of Easter egg hunts.
“Many people don’t realize how a simple childhood tradition can present challenges for children with disabilities or complex medical needs,” said Richard Mills-Tetteh, Chief of Marketing for the hospital. That’s why they created a very special egg hunt. It’s held on their adaptive outdoor field, so children in wheelchairs or with walkers can take part. They also hide eggs in the fencing, so even if a child can’t reach down, they can still get eggs.
The event is about creating lasting memories for the families. The hunt will be for children with special needs or disabilities and their siblings. There will also be games and activities (and prizes!). You do need to register for tickets which are free.
This special egg hunt will have empty eggs used and there will be bags of candy available afterwards.
