THE MISSION OF EasterSeals
EasterSeals is working to create a world where:
- Each child born with a disability is given the support necessary to participate fully in life and to have dreams and hopes, successes and achievements.
- Parents of a newly-diagnosed child with a disability are aware of the services and resources available to them and get unimpeded access to all necessary services.
- Children with disabilities are recognized by all as having vital contributions to make to our society.
- Communities value and support children with disabilities and their families.
- Access to appropriate child care is available for children with special needs.
- Families benefit from innovations and new technologies that help children with disabilities be as independent as possible.
Child Development Centers
The Child Development Center Network is the largest provider of inclusive child care in the United States. EasterSeals serves thousands of young children and their families in a setting where children with disabilities and special needs comprise 25 percent of enrollment.
Early Intervention
Early intervention services help young children with disabilities achieve their goals in cognitive, social/emotional, communicative, adaptive and physical development.
Services may include occupational therapy to help an infant learn to hold her bottle, physical therapy to help her learn to roll over, or speech therapy to help her learn to eat. Most early intervention services take place in the home or, in the case of working parents, at child care facilities in the local community.
