Leading the Way to Full Equity, Inclusion, and Access

For over 75 years, Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut has provided critical services and powerful advocacy so that people with disabilities and active military and veterans are provided with the resources they need to achieve their full potential in life. With tailored services in education, health, employment, and community, Easterseals is helping people – regardless of age or ability – participate fully in the community and in life. In schools, workplaces and communities, Easterseals is fostering an environment where every one of us is included and valued, respected and accepted in all aspects of society.


Disability is not a Dirty Word

This July, Easterseals Capital Region proudly celebrates Disability Pride Month with a special PSA, "Disability is not a Dirty Word." Disability Pride is about being unapologetically who you are and recognizing the disability community's incredible contributions as problem solvers, creative thinkers, and innovators. Let's celebrate and uplift the disability community together! View the PSA below.
