Project Description

Easter Seals Therapeutic School and Center for Autism outgrew its space, so it moved to the Patriots’ Gateway Community Center. The school serves 60 students and continues to grow.

Students are referred to the school from one of 28 school districts. Many students live in Rockford, Freeport and Belvidere; others live more than an hour away.
