Adults

We believe every adult deserves the chance to live with dignity, purpose, and connection. Our adult programs provide a range of supports for each person's needs—whether that means daily health care, learning skills, or building greater independence. 

Some adults benefit from structured settings where medical support is paired with engaging activities that encourage socialization and well-being. Others thrive in programs focused on life skills, community involvement, and personal growth. For adults ready to pursue work, our employment specialists open doors to meaningful jobs and ongoing success in the workplace. 

Together, these services meet adults where they are and help them to gain more independence and opportunities, while ensuring their health, safety, and well-being. Families gain peace of mind knowing their loved ones are supported, while individuals are equipped with the tools, support, and encouragement to live with dignity, purpose, and community.

Children

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and thrive. Our programs support children at all stages of development, providing guidance and resources to help them reach important milestones while giving families peace of mind. 

From early stages of development through school age, our programs help children build essential cognitive, social, and emotional skills in safe, nurturing environments. For children with autism, The Lori Center for Autism offers focused support to develop communication, social interaction, and daily living skills, with families actively involved in planning and progress. 

Across all programs, our focus is on overcoming barriers, fostering independence, and creating opportunities for children to succeed at home, school, and in the community. Easterseals West Kentucky equips every child with the tools, support, and encouragement they need to grow in ways as unique as they are.
