What’s with the blue pinwheels??
The blue pinwheel represents the happy, healthy, and nurturing childhoods all children deserve. 💙
As you see these pinwheels, let them serve as a reminder of the role we all play in creating safe, supportive environments for children in our community.
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Easterseals is proud to be one of many local organizations participating in Pinwheels for Prevention this month!

Rysing Star Dance Academy, LLC- RSDA wins the internet today. Great information! Well done, Taylor and kiddos!
Happy Easter! Did you ever wonder: Why are we called Easterseals? The early fundraising campaigns featured colorful stamps, or seals, that donors would stick on envelopes to show their support! Around Eastertime, you might see children dressed as bunnies collecting donations. It wasn't until 1967 that the nonprofit officially changed its name to Easter Seals. About 10 years ago, the two words were combined: Easterseals! We still give sheets of Easter seals to all our donors. Support local children with developmental delays and disabilities by sending your donation to Easterseals Rehabilitation Center, 1305 National Road, Wheeling, WV 26003. Remember: If you're not sending your donation directly to our Wheeling center, it's not helping local children.

It's true: Autism acceptance begins with each of us.
World Autism Acceptance Day was first declared by the United Nations in 2007.
"The 2026 observance of World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD), held under the theme 'Autism and Humanity – Every Life Has Value,' highlights and affirms the dignity and worth of all autistic people as part of our shared human future. At a time when misinformation and regressive rhetoric about the lives of autistic people is resurfacing, this year’s virtual event is a call to action to move beyond limiting narratives and to recognise the inherent dignity, equal rights, and unconditional worth of every autistic person."
We have a responsibility to ourselves and others to accept and attempt to understand the lived realities of the humans around us. Each person has a right to dignity, respect, health care, education, and the chance to live life on their terms, within their abilities.
Who or what do you need to accept today?
