Easter Seals Disability Services

Kids learn about disabilities & hop to fund therapy.

2012-2013 HOP-N-ING is sponsored by St. Mary's Hospital for Women and Children, Deaconess Riley Children's Services and Shoe Carnival.

Teachers! Schedule your HOP-N-ING disability awareness program NOW!

Children learn to be a friend to people with disabilities—AND help to fund therapy for local children and adults with disabilities—with the Easter Seals HOP-N-ING! Teaching materials, role-playing dolls,and other activities help young children develop an understanding about disabilities.

Teachers can use the curriculum any week during the school year, and schedule an Easter Seals representative for a multi-class assembly. Plus, school groups are encouraged to tour the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center to see how people with disabilities learn to live, work and play independently.

It’s fun, easy and FREE!

Each child obtains HOP-N-ING pledges from friends and relatives. Pledges can be flat donations or based on the number of times the student can hop in a 3-minute period. After the HOP-N-ING, money is collected and returned in pledge envelopes, which teachers submit to Easter Seals within two weeks.  Students and teachers can earn certificates, t-shirts, and other fun prizes!

Easter Seals HOP-N-ING curriculum
helps kids learn to help others!

Easter Seals supplies all materials, PLUS teachers receive discount fliers from The Teacher’s Aid AND an opportunity to appear on the Easter Seals Telethon! Best of all, the funds raised stay right here in the tri-state, helping thousands of people served by the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center.
