 Easter
Seal Society
At age 2, Allison was diagnosed with
cerebral palsy. Two years later, she began
attending the family swimming program
at Easter
Seals. The program provided Allison
with the exercise she needed to increase
her range of motion and relax her muscles.
At 14, Allison wanted to create a place
where all children, those with disabilities
and those without, could play together,
side by side. She was asked to serve as
the youngest member of the advisory board
for her local children's park. When her
role as design consultant for one of the
first fully accessible parks for children
with disabilities ended, she thanked a
pool of more than 4,000 people for helping
to make her dream a reality.
The Easter Seal Society is proud of the role that its services
played in helping Allison to develop her greatest potential.
But more than that, the Easter Seal Society is proud that Allison
has already started giving back to her community.
