    Easter Seals Child Development Centers provide
    early education and full-day child care for
    children with and without disabilities, ages six
    weeks through five years.  Our staff are
    specially trained to work with children with a
    wide range of disabilities and developmental
    delays, helping children of all abilities work
    toward their developmental goals at a time in
    their lives when they are most ready to learn.

    Easter Seals Child Development Centers practice
    inclusion, placing children with and without
    disabilities in the same classrooms and activities.  
    These settings enable children with disabilities
    to learn and grow by imitating the actions of
    their nondisabled peers.  Children without
    disabilities learn at an early age to understand,
    respect and accept differences.

    Foundation of Virginia was established in 1978 to
    promote awareness about epilepsy and provide
    assistance to those with the disorder. On an
    annual basis, we help educate around 6,000
    consumers with epilepsy and their families and
    friends to live with epilepsy. In our annual
    surveys of consumer's main concerns the top
    priority is invariably promoting awareness. To
    this day, consumers alert us about the
    inappropriate reactions when someone has a
    seizure.
