Who We Are

Our purpose is to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people's lives every day.

We are one of 75 affiliates of what has become National Easterseals, with headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. Easterseals Central and Southeast Ohio, Inc. serves children and adults with disabilities in 38 central, southeast, and northern Ohio counties.
