Young Adult Services

A variety of programs and services benefit teens and young adults with disabilities.

Teens and young adults with disabilities often face special challenges at this important time in their lives. Many services at the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center can offer support. For more details, follow the links below.

Medical Rehabilitation Therapy
Physical, occupational, speech/language, and aquatic therapy can help teens and young adults maintain progress and achieve new goals.

Psychology Services
Our psychology program offers evaluation, consultation, assessment, and therapy for children, youth, adults, and families dealing with a wide range of issues. These may include (but are not limited to): anxiety, mood/depression, developmental/learning conditions, attention issues, behavioral concerns, and family conflict.

Recreation & "iCan Bike"
Young people with disabilities can gain new skills and build self-esteem with recreation programs, including the "iCan Bike" day camp that teaches individuals (age 8 and up) to ride a bicycle.

Assistive Technology Solutions (ATS)
The need for customized adaptive equipment may increase as young adults seek a more independent and active lifestyle. From custom power wheelchairs to adaptations for the classroom or workplace, ATS can help.

Augmentative & Alternative Communication
New technologies can help individuals with disabilities affecting their speech "find a voice".  The ability to communicate with family, friends, teachers, and others in the community may open whole new worlds for teens and young adults.

Employment & Training
When it's time to plan for the transition from school to work, young adults can fine resources & services from Easterseals Employment Services, SSI/SSDI Ticket to Work, or Horizon Industries.
