Liz and Allan's high-deductible insurance plan limits the number of therapies they can receive in a single day, so they are at Easterseals four days a week for their children, Brayden, Annmarie, and Camden's therapy services. Their needs go far beyond what their insurance or Medicaid will cover.

It takes donations like yours to sustain their therapy plans, prevent setbacks, and continue their progress. This month, Camden begins a speech therapy intensive program to help him gain preferred foods and improve his communication using his assistive technology device.

Liz recognizes that no other local provider could support her family as fully as Easterseals.

Your support helps make their progress possible. Please give today at:

Celebrating Nora as she graduates from Occupational Therapy, turns 18, and begins studies at Illinois State University for social work. 🎉 From her early goals of mastering a high ponytail- to now mastering college life skills like curling her hair, preparing food, writing paragraphs quickly, and dealing out playing cards- Nora's care and kindness for others has shined.

We appreciate her efforts as an Easterseals ambassador and can't wait to hear of her future success!

Attunement is the ability to understand and respond to another person's emotional state - a crucial skill for healthy child development across various ages and stages. You can build emotional regulation in young children by following these tips and taking our free child development screening tool (ASQ).

Our ASQ helps measure and track a child’s growth and development from birth to age five. Try our ASQ SE-2 for an in-depth look at a child’s social and emotional skills and build your attunement together.
