Easterseals specialized foster care program focuses on children with disabilities and teenagers. We also have traditional children (children without disabilities) within our foster care program. Easterseals offers a full range of services and referrals to meet each child's needs.
We offer support for the foster parents at Easterseals through group meetings, home visits by the staff, and family training. This training includes child infant CPR, medication storage, dispensing and documentation, developmental disabilities, seizure disorders and other medical conditions, behavior management, educational surrogate parenting, and much more. Foster parents have access to help 24 hours a day.
Easterseals provides exceptional services, education, outreach, and advocacy so that people living with autism and other disabilities can live, learn, work, and play in our communities.

Requirements to become a foster parent
New Hampshire foster parents are entitled to support payments. These help cover the costs of caring for a foster child. Let's take a look at some of the available benefits:
Support Payments
In New Hampshire, foster parents receive reimbursement for daily costs. This includes board, meals, clothing, and other everyday expenses. The pay rate varies depending on the foster child's age and needs, but base payments begin at $24.48/day, up to $29.49/day.
Children with special needs are also entitled to additional specialized funds, up to $36.86/day. You can learn more about expense payments for New Hampshire foster parents by clicking here.
Medical and Dental Coverage
Children in the New Hamshire foster system are covered for dental and medical care under the Medicare system.
However, it's up to the foster parents to book all necessary medical appointments and make sure the foster child attends them.
Training and Support Groups
Alongside mandatory foster parent training, there are additional courses available. This extra training helps foster parents excel and provide the best possible environment for the children in their care.
Foster parents are also invited to attend local support groups, where they can meet their peers and talk about all aspects of being a New Hampshire foster parent.
