Disability Awareness Day

​This year marks Easterseals Central Texas' Disability Awareness Day!
​We are so excited to launch this effort to spread awareness of the disability community and the obstacles individuals with disabilities face in their everyday lives. 

One of the biggest obstacles people with disabilities face is the inability to gain meaningful and necessary employment. Through Disability Awareness Day we are working to increase employment opportunities for people living with disabilities.
As a community, we are able to secure opportunities for the people with disabilities, by educating the public of the struggles they face every day.

Serving Central Texas since 1937

There are currently 185,000 Central Texans living with a disability whether they were born with one or developed one through an accident or illness. These could be your family, friends, and neighbors. Many of them may not have access to services and resources they need to live, play and contribute in their community. We are working to change that.

Easterseals Central Texas is a local nonprofit, which for more than 78 years has supported the disability community of Central Texas. Through our programs and services, we champion the abilities of our clients to realize their full potential.
