State of Early Intervention: California
Every year, we as a nation fail to identify 1.45 million young children at risk for developmental delays or disabilities—children who will enter school already far behind other kids their age. But with the right treatment and therapy before the age of five, we can change the state of early intervention for thousands of kids in California.
Through Make the First Five Count, Easter Seals is raising awareness and activating the American public to demand that all young children get the support they need before the age of five. Make life better for children in your community—those at risk for autism, developmental delays and other disabilities—and help us achieve $100 million in additional federal funding for Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This is the federal program that provides critical services to infants and toddlers with disabilities and to their families.
We are excited to announce that Easter Seals has developed a partnership with ProFlowers
The partnership features a $10 contribution by ProFlowers to Easter Seals for every floral or gift purchase made online at easterseals.com/flowers. What an incredible way for Easter Seals friends and family to support our great cause with a gift that keeps on giving and helps advance our delivery of exceptional services, education, outreach and advocacy so that people living with autism and other disabilities can live, learn, work and play in our communities.
