Our Mission
Easterseals VT is a local, independent nonprofit established in 1985 by Vermont residents and dedicated to securing family-centered solutions for the difficulties parents and children may face.
With 11 locations from Brattleboro to Newport, we are the leading agency in the state in working hand-in-hand with the Department for Children and Families (DCF) to find family-centered solutions. Many children suffer from abuse, neglect, bullying, and insufficient help and understanding. Easterseals VT is known for finding practical, realistic solutions and helping parents understand and work with their school systems. We empower parents to teach, listen to, and understand their children’s needs more effectively.
