This need is especially evident in low income communities where the percentage of children with disabilities is higher, and the availability of resources lower.

Easter Seals has successfully met that challenge through a national network of Child Development Centers. In our experience, two of the major barriers to the operation of and inclusive model are managing the financial resources available and the development of appropriate facilities.
