About Easterseals

Easterseals Central & Southeast Ohio aims to give all people a chance to reach their full potential and live a truly inclusive life without limitations. Their purpose is to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people's lives every day.

Children and adults with disabilities will find the highest-quality services that are designed to meet their individual needs when they come to Easterseals. Teams of therapists, teachers, and other health professionals help each person overcome obstacles to independence and reach his or her personal goals.

Each year, the turkey logo you have emblazoned on your race shirt and medal, is designed by an Early Intervention student or graduate from Easterseals Central & Southeast Ohio. For over 50 years, Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio has been providing early childhood education programs meant to promote skill development for children with developmental disabilities and delays. Their Early Intervention program focuses on a child's needs early on in their development at their individual level of ability, giving them the head start they need to keep up with their peers.
