Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut,

Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut has a long and proud record of service to the community. Easterseals has undergone remarkable growth and expansion in the past five decades. Today we are proud to stand as Greater Hartford's leader in comprehensive rehabilitation services. Incorporated in 1948, Easterseals Capital Region & Eastern Connecticut had humble beginnings in a small space on Franklin Avenue in Hartford with two paid staff, a handful of dedicated volunteers, and essential equipment contributed by various service clubs, foundations and corporations. Today, the organization provides a wide range of medical and vocational rehabilitation services designed for individuals of all ages with any type of disabling condition. Combining physical, occupational, speech and neuropsychological therapies, our interdisciplinary approach is uniquely suited for the rehabilitation of cognitive, communication, physical, behavioral and psychosocial impairments to serve nearly 2,000 patients, clients and their families every year. As Greater Hartford's only outpatient provider of both medical and vocational rehabilitation services, we strive to provide every client with the combination of services best suited to their individual needs. After 75 dynamic years, Easterseals' strengths remain unchanged: a relevant mission, a strong infrastructure, and the support of a caring community.
