About Easter Seals Ontario

There are over 20,000 children, youth and young adults in Ontario with a physical disability.

Some children were born with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida, some have spinal cord or brain injuries resulting from childhood accidents, others sustained brain damage through infections like encephalitis and meningitis. Regardless of the cause, these children share a common desire for independence, acceptance and achievement.

Easter Seals Ontario began in 1922 as a vision to create a better life for children and youth with physical disabilities. While the specific programs and services may have changed over the decades, Easter Seals’ dedication to helping kids succeed is unwavering.

Today, support from our generous donors helps ensure Easter Seals is able to continue providing essential services for these children and their families.
