Description
Easter Seals National Headquarters, formerly the National Easter Seal Society was founded in 1919 as a voluntary health agency providing direct rehabilitation services to people with disabilities. The Society has affiliates in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Program services are provided by affiliates in 427 locations throughout the country to people with any type of disability. Services vary by location but may include medical and vocational rehabilitation services, educational services, leisure programs, day care, client and family support groups, equipment loan, and information/referral. The Society's Washington office advocates passage and implementation of legislation providing equal rights to people with disabilities.

A catalog lists publications related to: attitudes and awareness; legislation; dental care; independent living; prevention and safety; recreation and camping; speech, language, and hearing; stroke; and other disabilities.
