The organization operates five service locations and delivers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and educational programs including their research-driven Friendship Academy preschool, which integrates children with disabilities alongside typically developing peers. Services are delivered through center-based, school-based, and community-integrated models.

The clinical team includes Board Certified Behavior Analysts and licensed therapists focused on helping children build independence, improve social skills, and manage complex behaviors.

With roots in the region dating to 1936, the organization is led by Executive Director Tim Kerrihard and operates under the national Easterseals network, which has provided services to people with disabilities for over a century.
