Founded in Houston in 1947, Easter Seals Greater Houston provides a variety of needed services to
individuals of all ages with all types of disabilities and their families in the five counties surrounding
the Houston area. We are the only organization in the greater Houston area providing comprehensive

Originally called the Cerebral Palsy Treatment Center, the organization was started to provide
services to individuals with disabilities living in Houston and Harris County. The Center served as a
school and as a therapeutic service center over the years, and was briefly called the Children’s
Center for Developmental Therapy. In 1989, the organization changed its name once again and
greatly expanded and reorganized it’s services to meet the needs of its clientele. Today as Easter
