Who We Are

Our Purpose

We’re creating a more equitable world so people with developmental disabilities can choose their path. We do this by reimagining how care and support can be better connected to fill gaps in human services across an individual’s lifespan.

Easterseals Hawaii provides exceptional, individualized, family-centered services to empower people with intellectual or developmental disabilities to achieve their goals and live independent, fulfilling lives. Easterseals Hawaii has been serving children, youth and adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities for over 75 years. We provide more than 200,000 hours of direct service annually to individuals and families across the state. All funds raised by Easterseals Hawaii remain in Hawaii and help us carry on our tradition of creating solutions and changing lives.

In the Spotlight

Easterseals Hawaii’s Early Intervention, ABA program and Home and Community Based programs are accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), assurance that the organization meets internationally accepted standards of excellence. CARF accreditation is an ongoing process, signaling to the public that a service provider is committed to continuously improving services, encouraging feedback and serving the community.

Our Vision

We’re creating a more equitable world so people with developmental disabilities can choose their path. We do this by breaking down barriers and biases, providing access to innovative, individualized care services, clinical research and advocacy — all powered by intelligent technologies.
