How We Work

Easterseals Empowers People, Meets Community Needs, & Delivers Real-World Impact 

Each Easterseals Affiliate is trusted to provide essential services to individuals and families we serve from coast-to-coast, addressing multiple needs at once and meeting them where they are. This is trust earned for more than 100 years.  

We don’t focus on one disability or one mode of support. By collaborating closely with local organizations in communities nationwide, Easterseals connects you to high-quality education, healthcare, and employment services, and more—helping in all the ways that matter and doing it more efficiently.  

Access to multiple services under one organization like Easterseals can save you time and improve overall well-being—boosting physical and mental health, community connection, or a child’s academic performance. There’s so much we can do together.  

Easterseals Makes a Lasting Difference in the Lives of 1.5 Million People at Every Stage of Life 

An integrated approach to care and support allows us to adapt to evolving needs at every stage of life, and deliver services that empower people with disabilities, older adults, veterans, and their families to live independent, fulfilling lives.  

Our Affiliate network hears comments like this frequently from people they support:  

• From a mom who says, “I’m very excited for his future and I think he will do amazing throughout school, throughout his life”—relating to her experience with our early childhood education and intervention program.  
• From the spouse of a veteran who says, “I couldn’t believe how simple it was, it was magic. Nobody should have to suffer through anguish and not get the help that they need”— relating to our veteran services.   
• From a physical therapist who says, “You’re literally creating an opportunity for this child to grow and to be an independent, successful adult”—relating to supporting Easterseals’ work throughout the country. 

Meaningful change. Independence. Full lives. That’s our impact. In thousands of communities across America.
