We’re making big goals for FY26 to make big differences in the lives of those we support, our stakeholders, and our team. Take a look at our FY26 goals below.
Our goal for Missouri is to expand our services, form partnerships, and broaden our funding to meet the needs of people with disabilities throughout the state. For FY26, we have four objectives:
Expand Crisis Community Living Intervention through intensive supports to serve nine new individuals.
At the end of FY25, we supported five individuals.
2. Grow Technology Enabled Supports to reach 19 new individuals in Community Living.
At the end of FY25, we supported 20.
3. Fully integrate and expand Hearing and Speech Services and develop expansion plans.
In FY25, we officially merged with the Center for Hearing and Speech, introducing Hearing and Speech Services to Easterseals’ life-changing programs.
4. Enhance ABA Therapy reimbursement, diversifying our revenue.
In FY25, we submitted contract renegotiations for formal rate increases, approved for two of four contracts. We will continue to negotiate and, if necessary, go out of network moving forward.
Much like our goal for Missouri, in Kansas we aim to expand and introduce services, form new partnerships, and diversify funding to meet the needs of people with disabilities in the state, many of which don’t have access to disability programs. In FY26, we have two objectives:
Expand our services to reach 300 individuals across Employment services, Autism services, Technology-Enabled Services, and the Kansas Autism Summit.
In FY25, we supported 243 individuals, already bringing us close to this goal.
Execute Technology Enabled Supports strategy for expansion into two new markets in Kansas.
Looking ahead, we will continue to discuss and evaluate potential opportunities to launch this service in Kansas by the end of FY26.
Technology will be used throughout our organization to enhance our programs and encourage innovation and growth. To do this in FY26, we have three objectives:
Launch a fully-functioning Electronic Health Record, which will set the framework for a data-driven and informed future.
While this goal was delayed over last Fiscal Year, we aim to launch the EHR in FY26. The requirements and discovery process is complete, and the process of system build-out has already begun.
Pilot an iLINK partnership to support new populations outside of the disability community.
Discussions have already begun on an iLINK partnership to diversify our supports. In FY26, we look to pilot this program.
Connect Power BI to our core systems in an effort to improve data accuracy.
In this pilot effort, we will integrate NetSuite financial system with our own.
