EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

DISABILITY AWARENESS
The tendency to fear or avoid someone who is different is normal for both children and adults.  Education about causes of disabilities and how people adapt to them can lead to better understanding...and this understanding ultimately builds positive and accepting attitudes and behaviour.  Easter Seals Northern Ohio offers a wide range of educational programs that teach tolerance, understanding and acceptance.  For more information, please contact your local Easter Seals Norther Ohio office at 1.800.696.5601.

Hal's Pals
The Hal's Pals program uses five adorable dolls with disabilities to teach preschool and kindergarten-aged children that we are all more alike than different.  For more information, please contact your local Easter Seals Norther Ohio office at 1.800.696.5601.
