Our Mission
Easterseals changes the way the world defines and views disability by making profound, positive differences in people's lives every day.
Americans with disabilities are nearly twice as likely to be unemployed as the general population. Too often, individuals are marginalized and placed in jobs that do not accommodate their abilities, limiting their potential for long-term success.
Easterseals West Alabama is committed to changing this reality. Through our Workforce Development Department, Supported Employment, Transportation, Future Promise, Parents as Teachers (PAT), Nurse-Family Partnership, and Representative Payee programs, we promote self-sufficiency and empowerment for individuals with disabilities.
Our mission extends beyond services. We are actively working to revitalize how the community engages with the populations we serve. ESWA works to bridge the gap between those with and without disabilities, ensuring everyone has a place and purpose in our shared future.

"ESWA empowered me to have faith in my abilities. The job coaches provided invaluable support and guidance, helping me achieve my goal of independence through employment after a stroke left me largely paralyzed on one side. I was so inspired by ESWA’s Workforce Development Department, I became a job counselor myself!”
