Who We Are

Easter Seals provides services to ensure that children and adults with disabilities have equal opportunities to live, learn, work and play.

Easter Seals’ vision is that all people with disabilities are empowered to reach their full potential.

Easter Seals services help people of all ages with all kinds of disabilities -- individuals disabled through illness, accident or aging, as well as people born with disabilities.

Easter Seals serves people at more than 100 sites in communities all over Massachusetts, including Technical and Training Centers in Boston, Worcester and New Bedford.

The goal of all Easter Seals services is to help people live as full and independent lives as possible, right in their own communities.

Easter Seals' supporters in Massachusetts include nearly 110,000 individuals, foundations, corporations, small businesses and service clubs.

89% of all money raised for Easter Seals in Massachusetts goes directly to serve people with disabilities in the Commonwealth.
