Autumn was named for the season her mom, Tyler, loves most.


She was born prematurely at just 23 weeks and in need of extremely intensive care. Autumn spent 524 days in the hospital before she started pediatric therapies with Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley last fall.


Tyler expected us to support her daughter, but she didn’t anticipate the resources and reassurance she’d gain, too: 


"It’s personal. It’s the all-around package deal. They come in, they work with my baby, they ask me if I’m okay. You don’t find that everywhere. Their care is one less thing I have to stress about. They always show up for me.”


When parents and caregivers are well supported, their child’s therapeutic outcomes improve. This is why we’re committed to providing comprehensive rehabilitative therapy for children with disabilities and expansive support for the whole family. 


All 2,901 families we serve have access to wraparound services that help further their therapy goals. Your donation makes this unique set of services available, even when insurance coverage is not.


Please join this commitment by making a gift today.
