Our Programs

Physical Therapy: Are you concerned about your child’s ability to sit, crawl, walk or jump? Our pediatric Physical Therapists focus on improving overall strength, balance, coordination, and mobility so children can successfully play with their peers. 

Occupational Therapy: Is your child having trouble grasping objects, which could lead to handwriting challenges in the future? Our pediatric Occupational Therapists work to promote independence for a child’s ‘occupation’, including play skills, self-care, and sensory processing.  

Speech Language Therapy: Are you worried your child’s speech isn’t developing as it should be? Our pediatric speech pathologists promote natural speech and language using developmentally appropriate toys.  We encourage peer interaction to enhance language and social skills.  

Feeding Therapy: Does your child have difficulty swallowing or challenges with eating? Our therapists help children learn to eat different types of textures of foods, using either a sensory or behavioral approach. 

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA): Applied Behavioral Analysis helps families, caregivers, and other professionals assist with the care of individuals with challenging behaviors. Individualized plans are created to develop social skills, communication, and daily living skills, manage challenging behaviors, and teach replacement behaviors. 

Early Childhood Education: Are your child’s behaviors or social skills of concern? Our early childhood educators work with parents and children, from birth to 3 years old, to develop their play skills and behavior.  

Telehealth: Easterseals is currently offering in-person services in our centers, as well as community-based appointments for our families in Early Intervention in homes and childcare centers. Additionally, we continue to deliver services via telehealth if the family prefers. New families looking into services for their children should reach out to the Easterseals location closest to them to inquire about therapy services.

Easterseals Camp Fairlee: Easterseals Camp Fairlee offers campers of ages six and older a safe and accessible camp experience where they are challenged to discover their full potential.  Campers acquire new skills, friendships, and a lifetime of memories, while parents and caregivers enjoy a break from continuous care responsibilities.

    Caring for Tish at Home with Easterseals

    Emory and Otisia “Tish” did not know in 1982 when they said those words “in sickness and in health” that sickness would come sooner than they thought. Though caregiving for Tish, who had her first stroke at 45, has not come without trials, it is Emory’s great attitude, support from family, and a team of caring professionals at an Easterseals Adult Day program, that has really made a huge impact in how they continue to live their lives.
