Easter Seals and Medical Rehabilitation

Whether through a birth condition, injury, illness or limitations associated with aging, Easter Seals medical rehabilitation services are the first step toward help you or your family member gain greater independence and mobility—or maintain the skills they have. Medical rehabilitation includes occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech and language pathology, audiology, early intervention and other therapies that help people learn the skills they need to live, learn, work and play in their communities.

Medical rehabilitation focuses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disabilities to help individuals live with greater independence. Easter Seals medical professionals work together to restore function lost due to temporary conditions such as lower back pain, or permanent disabilities, such as traumatic brain injury. Easter Seals also promotes quality of life for individuals with disabilities through education and prevention programs.

Medical rehabilitation services are provided following a referral by a physician, teacher, agency, family member or through self referral. Funding is provided by third-party payers such as insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation and other state programs. Clients may also self pay or be the recipient of public support when/if eligible. Your local Easter Seals can inform you of the requirements for services and funding opportunities.

Because Easter Seals is family-focused, medical rehabilitation services may be provided in an Easter Seals outpatient center, Easter Seals Child Development Center and many adult day programs, as well as at home or at school, making it easier for busy families to coordinate services for their loved ones. State and federal laws determine referral requirements and funding opportunities.
