Recently, The Rehabilitation Institute (TRI) observed its 45th anniversary with a celebration that honored the many individuals served by the organization and their achievements. TRI evaluates, trains, and then places people with disabilities into meaningful and fulfilling jobs. Through a number of initiatives, which include training centers and day habilitation programs, individuals can learn the skills they need to achieve success in the workplace. One of the women highlighted during the anniversary celebration was born with cerebral palsy. Despite this setback, the woman became a law clerk with Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates, P.C., after going through the TRI program.

Since its inception, TRI has placed more than 10,000 workers with disabilities. Each year, about 200 men and women graduate from the program, half of whom secure permanent employment or internships with Long Island employers.

Craig Wolfson, an associate partner with Rosicki, Rosicki & Associates, P.C., is member of the business advisory board of TRI.
