Overview
The Central Texas affiliate of Easterseals, providing disability services that help adults with disabilities and veterans live, learn, and work in the community.
Easterseals is a national nonprofit that has provided disability services for over a century. Its Central Texas affiliate is based in northeast Austin and, according to IRS Form 990 data from ProPublica, reported about $7.5 million in revenue and $10.4 million in expenses in fiscal year 2023.
Easterseals Central Texas runs programs for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including its LIFE Center day program, which builds independent living and pre-employment skills. It also serves veterans and military families, combining mental health care with non-clinical supports such as employment help, so it connects naturally with federal employers like the VA and with peer support careers.
For job seekers, Easterseals is often the organization that helps with everything around the job: skills training, benefits counseling, transportation planning, and support once someone is hired. Its services are provided in English and Spanish.
