“Easterseals Hawaii (ESH) is creating a more equitable world so people with developmental disabilities can choose their path. We do this by reimagining how care and support can be better connected to fill gaps in human services across an individual's lifespan. For over 75 years, Easter Seals Hawaii (ESH) has provided services to thousands of families in service of creating a more equitable world where people with disabilities can choose their own path. ESH provides support to children with autism, intellectual disabilities, developmental delays or who are at risk for a delay, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Annually, ESH provides more than 260,000 hours of direct and virtual services through evaluation and assessments; individualized plans; appropriate therapeutic, educational, and training interventions; community integration; and coaching and support services for family members and caregivers. In 2022, we served over 2,400 individuals and families across Oahu, Hawaii Island, Kauai, Maui, in the community, and virtually via telehealth. Compared to 2021, our Early Intervention (EI) program increased revenue by 25% and our Autism program almost doubled its revenue. The additional funds will allow us to expand services and enrich our current programs. Additionally, our program operations loss, which is offset by fundraising and grants, is down 50% from 2021. Our Early Intervention (EI) program is the state's largest provider of EI services. On average, we serve 690 children and families per month. Practitioners help children, 0-3 years of age, to close developmental gaps via individualized treatment plans that address delays in overall development, motor skills and language. Our Autism program provides Parent-Led Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which teaches parents and caregivers how to provide ABA techniques anywhere, anytime when it works best for the family. Our care team develops a customized program that meets the unique needs of each client and family and helps them integrate the ABA disciplines and interventions into their everyday life. Our Adult Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) is a statewide Medicaid waiver program that supports all individuals with disabilities age 18 and beyond. ESH provides service and support to over 175 participants and families, with an average of 15,200 hours of direct service being provided each month. Critical programs like this offer participants socialization while focusing on increasing and improving participants' skills and independence in a variety of areas by actively engaging and integrating them in the community and among peers. In 2022, we launched Saturday Services to provide families much needed relaxation and revitalization. The program provides quality respite care for clients and worry-free time for parents, knowing that their children are safe and well cared for. Attendees enjoy hours of fun-filled care, complete with physical and educational activities, arts and crafts, sensory-friendly toys, snacks & lunch, and games. ESH is also a member of a family of companies including the Catalight Foundation, Catalight Care Services (provider network), Easterseals Northern California and Xolv Technology Solutions. Across the five companies, there are over 700 employees working together to responsibly disrupt break down barriers and biases to create a more inclusive world - one that reflects and celebrates the unique differences of everyone. We do this by providing access to innovative individualized care services, clinical research and advocacy powered by intelligent technologies.”
