Easter Seals Ontario - Helping Kids with Physical Disabilities Succeed

From funding for mobility and accessibility equipment, to fully accessible summer camp and post-secondary scholarship, Easter Seals programs and services enable kids with physical disabilities focus on what they can do rather than on their limitations. We also administer programs on behalf of the provincial government.
