Core offering

Easterseals Hawaii provides a statewide portfolio of human services for people with developmental disabilities and their families, including Autism Services (Applied Behavior Analysis and Diagnostic Evaluation Services), Early Intervention, Adult Home & Community Based Services with Adult Day Health, Employment Services, and the newer RISE inclusive community program. Services are delivered across all major Hawaiian islands through a hybrid in-person and telehealth model and are accredited by CARF International.

Product overview

Easterseals Hawaii operates as a portfolio of complementary, statewide human-services programs rather than a single unified SaaS-style platform. Its core offerings are four service lines — Autism Services (including ABA and Diagnostic Evaluation Services), Early Intervention, Adult Home & Community Based Services (HCBS, including Adult Day Health), and Employment Services — supplemented by the newer RISE Program (launched July 2025) that adds respite, inclusion, support, and empowerment programming for neurodiverse families. Together these services are delivered across all major Hawaiian islands (Oahu, Hawaii Island, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai) through a hybrid in-person and telehealth model, and are accredited by CARF International.

Broad incumbents

• BAYADA Home Health Care: Large nonprofit home health and behavioral health provider operating across multiple U.S. states, including pediatric and adult I/DD services. Comparable to ESH as a mission-driven, multi-site home and community-based services peer.
• BrightSpring Health Services: Large publicly traded provider of home- and community-based health and pharmacy services, including I/DD and behavioral health offerings. Comparable as a multi-state I/DD services incumbent with overlapping HCBS and ABA exposure.
• Aveanna Healthcare: Public, multi-state home health and pediatric services operator with significant private-duty nursing and adult I/DD exposure. Comparable to ESH's HCBS, Adult Day Health, and pediatric clinical service lines.
• Catalight: Parent organization of Easterseals Hawaii; runs the Catalight Research Institute, the Wellbeing Scales outcome platform, and the Chat naturalistic developmental language program. Comparable as the broader research-driven I/DD services network that ESH operates within.
• Sevita Health (formerly The MENTOR Network): National, multi-state provider of home and community-based services, autism services, and adult I/DD programs. Overlaps directly with ESH's HCBS, Adult Day Health, and ABA lines, but at a national scale and as a private-equity-backed operator.
• The Arc of the United States: National federation of disability-services nonprofits, with a Hawaii chapter (The Arc of Hawaii) that has historically partnered with Easterseals Hawaii. Provides direct I/DD supports, advocacy, and HCBS at a state and national level.

Regional players

• Queens Medical Center (The Queen's Health Systems): Largest private nonprofit hospital system in Hawaii, providing acute, outpatient, and community health services statewide. Comparable to ESH as a Hawaii-based nonprofit health system that overlaps in community health, diagnostics, and discharge-to-home pathways for I/DD and adult day populations.

Emerging players

• Centria Healthcare: National provider of ABA, behavioral, and home-health services for children and adults with autism and I/DD. Comparable to ESH's Autism Services and HCBS offerings, but operating in select states and on a for-profit basis.
• BlueSprig Pediatrics: Multi-state provider of center-based and home-based Applied Behavior Analysis services for children with autism. Comparable to ESH's Autism Services and Caregiver-Led ABA programs as a focused ABA competitor, but commercially operated and growth-equity backed.

Direct peers

• Easterseals Northern California: Sister nonprofit within the Catalight "Family of Companies" that operates the same I/DD service portfolio (ABA, Early Intervention, Adult Day Health, Employment Services) in Northern California. Operationally and structurally the most directly comparable peer to Easterseals Hawaii.
