Community Resources
Easterseals Central Illinois is working towards a future where every child is
100% Included. 100% Empowered.
In addition to our programs, Easterseals is a resource in our community for fostering inclusion in every aspect of life and supporting the families we serve.
- The Autism Collective- The Autism Collective, currently a collaboration of Easterseals Central Illinois and OSF HealthCare Children’s Hospital of Illinois, is working to end the isolation felt by those living with autism by uniting experts and connecting families. We coordinate early identification, diagnosis, therapy, services and support close to home – while collaborating and innovating to improve treatment, communication and quality of life. The Autism Collective is a relentless champion for every person living with autism.
