Hello, June! Summer is here, and we have a busy month ahead at Easterseals Midwest.

Every event helps build stronger, more inclusive communities for people with disabilities and their families.

Easterseals Midwest is grateful for the continued support of the St. Louis Office for Developmental Disability Resources (DD Resources).

In FY27, DD Resources approved more than $7.6 million in community investments supporting almost 1,600 individuals and families across St. Louis City. These publicly funded services help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities live more independently in inclusive communities.

Partnerships like this help create opportunities, strengthen support systems, and expand access to services for the people and families we serve every day.

Thank you, DD Resources, for your partnership and continued investment in our community.

Our Kansas City Employment and Community Services team kicked off National Speech-Language-Hearing Month with ASL training earlier this month.

The training was led by Micki Keck, Deaf Services Specialist II with The Whole Person. Learning new ways to communicate helps our team provide more personalized support for the people we serve.

Every new skill adds to the toolbox!

Micki Keck, Independent Living Specialist / The Whole Family Project Coordinator,

"Thanks to Kari Chester, my fun former co-worker who is now working at Easterseals Midwest, I was asked to provide a Basic ASL Workshop for their staff during their staff development day on Friday, May 1.

Four staff members have taken my Community ASL Class in the past. There are also two CODAs (Children of Deaf Adults) working there. One of the CODAs’ sisters used to run The Whole Family Project when she worked here.

It’s all about bringing ASL to the next level, especially for nonverbal children and adults."

What happens when 100 people come together with one shared purpose?

You get something bigger than art.

Our Parade of Hearts design, "Inclusion Starts with the Heart," was created by individuals and staff across our Kansas City programs. Every color, symbol, and brushstroke tells a story of belonging.

Now, that story is on display for the whole community to see in Lawrence’s South Park.

Inclusion starts with people coming together — and creating something meaningful side by side. 🧡
