Organization’s Mission
Our purpose is to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people's lives every day.
Founded in May of 1947, Easterseals Washington has been serving children and adults with disabilities and their families across the state for nearly 75 years. Over the past seven decades, we have offered a variety of services to help those who need it most, and we are constantly working to reach underserved populations throughout Washington. Over time Easterseals Washington has adapted to meet the evolving needs of individuals throughout the state.
Easterseals Washington provides services for children and adults with disabilities through the following programs:
Camp Stand By Me
Our summer camp and respite service give people of any ability level the chance to experience the joys of camp in an accessible environment and gives parents and caregivers a break to recharge their own batteries.
Olympic Peninsula Autism Center
OPAC helps children with autism reach their full potential through positive behavior therapy. Working 1-on-1 with therapists, children learn to communicate with their families and build skills to help them succeed in school and life.
Inclusive Child Development Centers
Our CDC's teach and care for children with and without disabilities side-by-side, giving them the tools they need to start school on time and develop attitudes of self-esteem, tolerance, and inclusion at an early age.
Workforce Development
Through job coaching, interview preparation and placement, we help adults with disabilities achieve self-reliance and independence through paid employment.
Adult Day Health & Social Programs
These multi-faceted programs give adults with disabilities more than just a fun and energetic place to socialize during the day. They also provide essential health screenings, assistive technology labs, and exercise classes.
