Almost two years ago, I was able to join the Board of Easterseals Eastern Pennsylvania and found this small organization to be extremely important in the lives of the 3,000 individuals - and their families - who rely on Easterseals Eastern PA every year. The early intervention; physical, speech and occupational therapy; camps; community supports; and vocational preparation are just some of the programs that are essential to improving the quality of life for those less fortunate than we are. Every contribution, whatever the size, helps keep these programs and assistance available to infants through young adults with disabilities. Any contribution to the annual giving campaign helps support this valuable work. Thank you for your consideration.

Harrison is a bright and friendly child diagnosed with autism. His relationship with Easterseals began through the Early Intervention program. Both of his parents work in the education field and they wanted to make sure Harrison would be prepared for the demands of school. So just prior to the start of kindergarten, they initiated outpatient services for both speech-language and occupational therapy.
