About Easter Seals of West Georgia
Easterseals West Georgia Inc., a United Way Community Partner, provides both Adult Day Services and Children's Services, Family Support Services, and Employment Services. We provide each adult with an opportunity to spend their days involved in activities with other adults practicing daily living skills and learning new skills which will allow them to function as independently as possible. The therapeutic program for children follows a curriculum based on learning through play and child directed creative experiences. On a daily basis, children are encouraged to express their needs and wants through verbalization and/or signing. Development of adaptive/life skills is also of great importance.

Most children go to daycare before they enter preschool at age 3 or 4. Most children stop daycare at the age of 6 when they go to school. Children who are homeschooled might continue daycare programs. Kids diagnosed with autism or other developmental disabilities might be in both daycare and therapy programs longer. Special needs programs and centers help children up to 26 years old.
One of the best things you can do is to have a conversation with the daycare staff. Share details about your child’s autism diagnosis, strengths, and challenges. Building open lines of communication will help you work together to support your child’s needs. Prepare the daycare provider to work with your child with a physical guidebook. This guidebook can include all of your child’s favorite things and how to calm them down. You might already have one ready from your experience with babysitters or teachers!
