Easter Seals for People with DisabilitiesOften we associate Easter Seals with helping infants and children, however, Easter Seals Disability services offers a wide variety of programs for adults, both young and old as well as their caregivers.
As one of its most extensive services, Easter Seals operates 50 adult day service centers in 15 states.
