Easter Seals Disability Services

Through therapeutic preschool, the Easter Seals Rehabilitation Center strives to change lives for children, ages 3-5, with disabilities and delays. Parent surveys help to ensure that we are meeting the needs of preschoolers and their families. Here are the latest survey results from August 2010.

Parents were asked to answer the following questions using a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the lowest & 5 being the highest. 52 surveys were distributed and 20 completed surveys were returned, for a response rate of 30%. Parents were also invited to write in comments anonymously; click here to read their remarks.
