About Easter Seals

Through therapy, training, education and support services, Easter Seals creates life-changing solutions so that people with disabilities can live, learn, work and play.

Myth:
Government services provides people with disabilities everything they need.

Fact:
Although government services plays a critical role, it is not enough to cover an individual’s entire needs. In fact, Easter Seals needs to raise more than $14 million this year to fill these funding gaps. You can help by shopping at Food Lion February 4 – March 3.

Easter Seals provides:

• Medical Rehabilitation programs offering physical, occupational, speech and audiology therapy, outpatient medical rehabilitation, social work/case management, nursing and early intervention.
