Easterseals North Georgia (ESNG) has dedicated itself to improving the lives of children and families with disabilities and other special needs in Georgia for 70 years. Our mission is to strengthen the health and development of children with and without disabilities, their families, and the greater community with one vision in mind; a world where there is 100% equity, inclusion, and access for all children. We achieve these outcomes through our Early Education and Care, our Family Support, and our Early Intervention Programs. The children and families enrolled in these programs are disadvantaged or have a disability. These programs improve school readiness, ensure children start school healthy, and engage families in learning to be their child's first and most important teacher and advocate. ESNG’s comprehensive services address health, nutrition, cognitive, language, and social-emotional development, identifies and treats disabilities while also strengthening the family as a whole. The organization works with the child, family, and community to provide a continuum of care and resources.
