Affinity Groups
Affinity Groups are safe spaces for our community where people can voice their ideas, concerns, and our vision for services. We are passionate about starting groups that support advocates for neurodiversity, families of black participants, LGBTQ+ families, single caregivers, and families of LatinX and Hispanic participants.
Autism Diagnostic Services
Easterseals now offers evaluations to help determine if you or your family member may have a diagnosis of autism. This free assessment is prioritized for families without insurance and/or those who may be on a waitlist for an autism evaluation through a different agency.
Coordinated Care Network (CCN)
Easterseals has partnered with Kaiser, Blue Shield, and Unite Us as part of a coordinated community care network (CCN) to connect families with a broad range of services beyond what is typically provided at ESSC. Services offered include legal, food assistance, transportation, utilities, income support, employment services, and more.
Coordinated Life Services (CLS)
Coordinate Life Services (CLS) provides intensive personal life planning and coordination for individuals at risk of being placed in or transitioning from a restrictive setting such as a developmental center. This program provides participants with a safety net, improved access to needed support services, and help to remain living in the community.
Developmental Screenings
This quick and free screening is a general measure of your child's development to see if they are reaching age-appropriate milestones. The screening provides an overview of their strengths and needs while identifying if your child requires further evaluation.
