All Abilities. Limitless Possibilities.

Proudly serving children and adults with special needs across Will, Grundy, Kendall, Kankakee, Ford and Iroquois Counties since 1949.

Please save the date to join us for the 2027 Celebration of Giving Telethon, Saturday, April 17 at a new location, Hollywood Casino Joliet! Join us in broadcasting hope across our region.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we are reminded of how much we have to be grateful for. At Easterseals Joliet Region, we are especially thankful for the people who make our mission possible — you, our donors and supporters. Because of you, a child can celebrate reaching a milestone that once seemed out of reach. An adult with a disability can discover greater independence. A family can find encouragement, support, and renewed confidence to look toward the future with hope. These moments may seem small to some, but to the individuals and families we serve, they can be life changing.

Remembering someone special can inspire lasting good. Memorial donations transform remembrance into action, carrying their legacy forward.
