Providing Services for People with Disabilities and Their Families

Easter Seals Northern Ohio's commitment to help children and adults with disabilities live with equality, dignity and independence is carried out through programs in four service areas:  Medical Services, Home and Community Based Services, Educational Services and Recreational Services.

All services are not available in all counties.  Please call your local Easter Seals Northern Ohio office for a complete list of programs and services in your area.

Medical Services
  For over 30 years, Easter Seals Northern Ohio has provided speech-language therapy services throughout the region.  Services are available year-round for children birth through school age, promoting early identification, diagnosis and treatment of communication disorders.  In addition to year round services, we offer specialized summer programs designed to maintain or increase skills learned during the school year.

 

Home and Community Based Services
  Easter Seals Northern Ohio's Home and Community Based Services are designed to make life better for individuals with disabilities and their families.  In both our Homecare and Senior Friends programs, trained staff members come to the home and provide various levels of assistance in order to help the individual learn new skills and live independently.  Another way that we help to make life a bit easier for individuals with disabilities is by having a wide range of adaptive equipment available for loan (including car seats, adaptive car seats, crutches, wheelchairs and more).

 

Educational Services
  Easter Seals Northern Ohio's Educational Services are designed to build awareness and increase acceptance and understanding of people with disabilities.  Age appropriate programs are available to any interested group within the community.

 

Recreational Services
  Easter Seals Northern Ohio's recreational programs are created with one thing in mind:  FUN!  Because the special need of our clients vary, we operate a variety of camps and also offer a unique "Campership" program that provides funding to children and adults with disabilities.  Easter Seals also offers an adaptive aquatics program to help our clients stay active during the school year.

 

Information and Referral
  Easter Seals is pleased to provide website links to organizations in the region in order to offer individuals with disabilities and their families the best possible resources, information and care.  If you are in need of services that Easter Seals is unable to provide, we will do our best to help you get the assistance you need.


At Easter Seals, we pride ourselves on the fact that no one in need of services is ever turned away due to an inability to pay.  Please contact your local Easter Seals office if you believe you may qualify for financial help and would like to learn more about our sliding fee scale or other financial assistance programs.
