Easter Seals Disability Services

Pediatric Therapy

Easter Seals offers a broad array of Pediatric Therapy services.

Therapy helps children with developmental delays and disabilities learn to do the things that come more easily for others.  Because most of those we serve are children, therapy is embedded within play-based activities which makes learning fun for kids as they develop and grow.  Therapy can take place on land or in a Warm Water Therapy pool.
