About Us
A Youngstown, Ohio-based nonprofit that provides services to children, adults, and seniors with disabilities has expanded its service area to include six new counties and changed its name to Easterseals of Northeast Ohio.
"This is a natural evolution for our organization as we look to grow our programs and build trust and awareness across our new service areas," CEO Jody Klase tells the Youngstown Vindicator.
The new counties are Ashtabula, Geauga, Portage, Carroll, Tuscarawas, and Holmes, bringing Easterseals' footprint to a nine-county region.
Easterseals offers "a continuum of services to meet the diverse needs of children, adults and seniors in the community," from early childhood programs to medical rehabilitation, autism services, and workforce development.
Other programs include services for the deaf, non-medical transportation, adult day care, home-delivered meals, and speech and occupational therapy.
"The first step is, really, to get to know the communities and determine what the need for service is," Klase says.
