Easterseals DuPage & Fox Valley was selected as one of the FY27 grantees, receiving $120,000 towards our pediatric rehabilitation and mental health services.

We extend our sincere appreciation to State Representative Marti Deuter for filing HB 4391: Improving Access to Pediatric Therapy. This bill updates insurance coverage to allow multiple medically necessary therapy services on the same day, meaning fewer trips, less cost, and less stress for families.

We commend Representative Deuter for her collaboration with our Vice President of Clinical Services, Maureen Karwowski, OTR/L, and advancing legislation that puts families first and removes unnecessary barriers to accessing care.
