ABOUT EASTERSEALS CENTRAL TEXAS

Easterseals Central Texas began in 1937 as the Texas Society for Crippled Children.

Almost twenty years later, we became the Capital Area Rehabilitation Center, expanding our services, programs, and the persons served. Today, our services are focused on multiple areas of care that create successful outcomes for clients from birth to advanced age. Our mission is to change the way the world defines and views disabilities by making profound, positive differences in people's everyday lives.

Our services are only as effective as the quality of the people who make up our team. To achieve our mission, we strive to attract and retain talented and committed staff who believe in our cause. This is why we provide competitive compensation, great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
