The concept of rehabilitation - restoring a person to a condition of health or useful, constructive activity - began to gain acceptance.

Occupational therapy was recognized as an important part of the treatment of Tuberculosis in Rochester.

"The Little House", a workshop for occupational therapy, opened under the direction of Elizabeth Wise. People with disabilities manufactured and sold the products they made.

The "Industrial Workshop" was incorporated. Contracts from local industries were secured, and the agency soon became the primary vocational rehabilitation provider in our region.

Industrial Workshop was funded by the Community Chest-later to become the United Way.

Industrial Workshop became the Rochester Rehabilitation Center -- with an array of services including physical, psychiatric, and vocational rehabilitation.

Rochester Rehab joined with six partner agencies to form the Al Sigl Center for Rehabilitation Agencies.
