Carter
"Easter Seals held our hands during the dark part..."
The family-centered approach of Easter Seals NH Early Intervention helped not only Carter but his whole family deal with the severity of his medical condition, tretramelia, which caused him to be missing bones throughout his body. Now Carter is thriving and the family has again found joy in their lives. |

Kayla
Kayla's parents met with the Easter Seals NH Early Intervention team only three weeks after she was born with arthrogryposis, a muscle and joint deformity which causes locked joints and weak or lacking muscles. After surgery and weekly therapy sessions, Kayla now runs alongside her classmates and is busy attending Easter Seals events across the state. | |
