Description
Easterseals Louisiana (ESL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people’s lives every day. Established in 1951, we are celebrating 75 years in 2026, and our organization supports over 12,400 individuals (whom we refer to as Participants) with a variety of disabilities. A leading provider of disability services, ESL has physical locations in 8 regions of Louisiana, and our array of programs includes support coordination (case management) for children, adults, and elderly participants, a wide range of behavioral health and housing services, early intervention services for infants and toddlers, and a school setting called The Chartwell Center in New Orleans.
Because we support so many participants with a range of needs, we have learned that disability looks different for everyone, and it is our goal to help our participants thrive and live their lives to their fullest potential. ESL believes that everyone deserves opportunities to be active and productive members of their communities. We strive to make a life of purpose and independence possible for our participants through our commitment to quality support, innovative service offerings, and continuous organizational evolution.
