It has been more than 85 years since the roots of Easter Seals were planted in Central Illinois. What started as a once-a-week clinic in a downtown storefront in Peoria for just a few children, has blossomed into four service centers serving thousands of children and adults with disabilities and their families every year.

Widely recognized as a place of hope and progress, Easter Seals provides a broad array of programs, services, and facilities serving people with disabilities of all ages in central Illinois.

Easter Seals provides services for children and adults with developmental delays and disabilities. Services are designed to improve functional as well as life skills.
