Maryland's Eastern Shore is expanding its special needs education infrastructure. Chimes International, Benedictine School, and Kennedy Krieger Institute are establishing or expanding facilities to serve the region's over 7,000 Autistic and disabled students. The Chimes School Eastern Shore will open in two phases, starting with 30 students aged 5-10 in 2025 and expanding to at least 100 students in 2028. Benedictine School plans to open in Fall 2026, while Kennedy Krieger Institute will open in the coming years. The new schools will offer services like speech and occupational therapy. The development is a result of efforts by the Greater Salisbury Committee and Healthy Minds for Shore, a coalition of local mental health agencies and community stakeholders, which advocated for more resources for children with special needs.
