History

Established in 1947.

RIKC was established in 1947 to help disabled servicemen returning home from World War II receive medical and vocational rehab services. With $ 7,500 from the Easter Seal Society, the Junior League, and the National Foundation The Institute opened it’s doors. The staff of four served 141 patients in the small loft space.

Since 1947 RIKC has expanded it’s range of programs and services, staff, and operating space while maintaining the mission of building brighter futures for children and adults with disabilities.
