What We Do
|
Since 1937, Easter Seals Central Texas (originally chartered as the Texas Society for Crippled Children), has been providing services to children and adults with disabilities and their caregivers. In 1949, a small building was dedicated as the Austin Cerebral Palsy Center serving a small population of Central Texas residents. Almost twenty years later, it became the Capital Area Rehabilitation Center, expanding its services, programs and persons served. In 1985, the Capital Area Rehabilitation Center became an official affiliate of the Easter Seals National and was renamed The Capital Area Easter Seals Society. Finally, in 1998, the name was changed to Easter Seals Central Texas. In 2006 ESCT opened its Hays County Workforce Development office and in 2007 Easter Seals moved its headquarters to the current location at 1611 Headway Circle. 2010 brough more change as ESCT expended to include more comprehensive community and housing services. Easter Seals Central Texas currently provides over 7,000 local children and adults with quality, person-centered services and support. |
