Easterseals Florida, Inc

What Easterseals Florida, Inc does

Easterseals Florida, Inc. is a Winter Park-based regional affiliate of the national Easterseals nonprofit network, providing disability services, therapy, employment training, and community programs to children and adults with disabilities, caregivers, veterans, military families, and older adults across Florida. Founded in 1948 as part of a network established nationally in 1907, the organization operates within a 100+ affiliate coast-to-coast structure that delivers locally customized programs through a zip-code-based service locator on easterseals.com/florida. Core service lines include adult day services, assistive technology, autism services, camp and recreation, caregiving support, early childhood care, education programs, employment and job training, in-home care, mental health services, therapy and rehabilitative care, transportation and mobility, and veterans services.

The organization's technology footprint is centered on community service delivery rather than proprietary software. Public-facing tools include a free ASQ-3 child development screening tool, a mental health screening tool, the ES Gaming online community and Discord platform, and digital literacy training delivered via partnerships with IBM SkillsBuild and GetSetUP. Easterseals Southern California has deployed voice-activated ReConnect sensory spaces with Google smart technology at venues such as SoFi Stadium. There is no proprietary AI or ML capability; AI appears in the curriculum as a subject taught to clients rather than as a deployed system.

Easterseals Florida is funded through three primary revenue streams: federal and state government grants (notably the U.S. Department of Labor's $22.2M SCSEP senior employment program shared across the national network), individual and corporate charitable donations (through online giving, planned giving, workplace matching, donor-advised funds, and cryptocurrency), and program services revenue from adult day services, childcare, therapy, and employment training. Services are predominantly provided at low or no cost to beneficiaries. With 251-500 employees and a national beneficiary base of 1.5 million annually, the organization operates a community-led go-to-market model supported by corporate partnerships with Home Depot, Lyft, Chase Bank, IBM, Coca-Cola, Comcast NBCUniversal, General Motors, Abbott Fund, JP Morgan Chase, Freddie Mac, and Albertsons Foundation.
