Ten minutes today could make a difference when an emergency happens.

The September 26th Project is an annual reminder for families of autistic people and people with disabilities to review their emergency safety plans and make sure they are still up to date.

The project offers simple checklists covering fire safety, natural disasters, and wandering prevention so families can take a few minutes each year to prepare before an emergency happens.

This September 26, take 10 minutes to review your family’s plan and share this resource with someone who may need it.

There’s nothing quite like getting the big-league treatment.

Recently, 50 young athletes came together at Easterseals MORC’s Miracle League Field in Southfield for a special Baseball Fantasy Camp hosted alongside the Detroit Tigers Foundation and Fantasy Camp for Kids Foundation.

Tigers players and families joined athletes for a day of learning, practicing their skills, and, most importantly, enjoying the game together.

Programs like the Miracle League help make sure children with disabilities have the same opportunities to step onto the field, be part of a team, build confidence, and experience everything that makes sports so special.

We’re proud of Easterseals MORC and grateful to the Detroit Tigers and everyone who helped make this an unforgettable day for these young athletes.

We’re proud to be a community partner of The Coca-Cola Company, and even prouder of what that partnership is helping make possible.

For Easterseals, that means expanding career opportunities for people with disabilities, helping employers build stronger workforces, and creating more pathways to meaningful employment in communities like South Florida.

That work is part of Coca-Cola’s broader $177 million investment in U.S. communities last year, supporting education, workforce development and hometown initiatives across the country.

We’re grateful to The Coca-Cola Company for investing in the people and communities we serve, and for helping us turn opportunity into something people can actually access.

Disability rights are taking center stage at TIFF!

Ahead of the opening-night premiere of Being Heumann, actor Antwan Tolliver shared an important reminder: people with disabilities are our coworkers, parents, teammates and neighbors. They should be able to move through the world as everyday people, without always being expected to inspire others.

The conversation also went beyond representation on screen, highlighting what it looks like to make filmmaking itself more accessible, from accessible trailers to creating real opportunities for actors and creatives with disabilities.

We’re glad to see Being Heumann honoring Judy Heumann’s legacy while pushing the conversation about accessibility forward, on screen and behind the scenes.

For people with disabilities, the opportunity to work should also come with the opportunity to save, plan, and build financial security.

ABLE accounts can help make that possible by allowing eligible people with disabilities to save for qualified expenses while protecting access to certain public benefits.

A new video from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy highlights how ABLE accounts can support workers with disabilities as they build their careers and plan for the future.

Advancing Financial Independence for Americans with Disabilities Like all workers, American workers with disabilities must be able t...

Over 70 million adults in the United States have a disability. That means disability is part of every community, including ours.

Every day, people with disabilities, older adults, families, and caregivers rely on Medicaid-funded disability services to help make independent living possible.

These services help 8 million people stay in their homes, get to work, manage daily needs, and remain connected to the people and places they love.

Join us in urging Congress to protect Medicaid disability services for the families and communities who count on them.
