Easter Seals Of Southeastern Preparatory

Easter Seals of Southeastern Pennsylvania is a nonsectarian organization serving children and adults with disabilities across Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties. Founded in 1907, the agency provides direct services to over 4,000 individuals, focusing on maximizing independence for those with brain damage, cerebral palsy, autism, genetic disorders, and developmental delays. The program operates without funding from the Easter Seals National Office, raising its entire budget locally.

For families seeking specialized support, the agency offers a variety of programs including approved private school placements, special classrooms, and summer or recreational activities. Services extend to parent-infant programs, early intervention, and outpatient therapy for speech, physical, and occupational needs. The approach is designed to address a wide spectrum of challenges, from physical disabilities to learning differences and sensory disorders.

While the organization primarily functions as a service provider rather than a traditional school, it offers specific educational opportunities for nursery and preschool-aged children. Families interested in these specialized programs, therapy services, or school placements are encouraged to contact Easter Seals of Southeastern Pennsylvania directly at (800) 221-6827 or visit their website for more details.
