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.

Foster parents have access to help 24 hours a day.

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.

From the beginning these people who claim to help disabled persons have lacked knowledge, interest & common decency when it comes to dealing with those whom are disabled and their families & I’m mainly talking about the oral center. They worked on my disabled husbands teeth & I dished out over a thousand dollars in 6 months just for his fillings to fall out days later. He had post traumatic stress from them breaking and yanking teeth out of his head that lead to a car accident due to lack of sleep. When I called to let them know that the fillings fell out two days later they apologized and admitted that they ground down too much of his natural teeth and that’s probably why the fillings didn’t stay. (2-3fillings) then said that he needed bridge work that would cost $4-5 thousand dollars but that they would credit his account $600 that he could use either toward repairing other teeth or towards the bridge work. We were in shock and he decided for his own mental health he would take a break from the dentist. I finally called back to make an appointment for a checkup and to continue on with care about a year later and was told that he only had a credit of $70 and when I explained to numerous nurses/secretaries that, that was incorrect and that there should actually be a $600 credit. The final phone call when I once again explained why there should be a $600 cash credit I was told I was being rude (yes I was frustrated and I had every right to be) I was then told I would get a phone call. Well today two weeks later I called once again to see what was going on I get told that I’m going to receive a $71 check and that my husband is no longer welcomed there. So because you have incompetent staff you throw out a human like he’s a piece of trash. You should be ashamed! And if you knew anything about what it’s like having disabled family members then you would have completely understood where I was coming from with my frustrations! I hope you learn from this and don’t treat other people who come to you for help like garbage!

The staff there is very friendly and helpful, they got me in and assessed my issues with a recommendation and prescriptions to help deal with my pain. I look forward to going back and getting the work done through these fantastic people! If you need dental work, I definitely recommend trying here!!

If your a veteran dont think you can get any kind of help from these people unless you give them a blood sample and a complete record of your life. Gave up on there help I'll just have to find another way.
