Abilities First
Celebrates
Golden
Anniversary
in 2012
F
irst known as Rehabilitation Programs and then, REHAB Programs, Abilities First was established
in 1962 based on the recommendations of a Task Force, as the first step
in providing a comprehensive program
for multi-handicapped individuals. At
that time programs included a school
and Clinic with a work training component. According to disability history,
this makes Abilities First a model of its
time when there was a new movement
in the second half of the 20th century
to transition people with disabilities
out of institutional settings and create
services that would allow them to be
more a part of their communities. Over
the past 50 years, Abilities First has
continued to adapt and grow to assure
that it holds to its mission to serve people with disabilities and their families
by developing and providing innovative services, advocacy and support in
a culture of dignity and respect.
Throughout 2012, Abilities First’s 50th
Anniversary has been celebrated in
many ways beginning with the launch
event held at the Abilities First School
in January. This event filled the room
with friends old and new including
Dutchess County officials, past and
present board members, family members and staff. Featured at this event,
was Cora Ronk, a woman with disabilities who received educational services
through Abilities First fifty years ago.

The Story Of Cora
C
ora Ronk was
born June 13,
1955. In 1962, when
Cora was 6 years old,
she lived on Hooker
Ave. in Poughkeepsie
and her mom, Dina,
would walk her to
Cora age 7
the nearby Little Red
School House, an educational program
operated by the newly established Rehabilitation Programs.
In 1973, at the age of 18, Cora finished
school at Dutchess County BOCES and
began receiving vocational services
from Rehabilitation Programs. This is
when she truly flourished and began to
develop her independence. She worked
on a cleaning team at Rehabilitation Program’s North Road site and remembers
that there was a laundry room where one
of her jobs was folding the towels. She
worked at BOCES serving lunches, did
piece work in Rehabilitation Program’s
Work Training Center, and then began
working in its Clinic doing administrative filing in 1984. During this time, she
went to Dutchess Community College
to learn computer skills. In 2003, Cora
began working in - what was then called
- REHAB Program’s fiscal department.
Gloria has been working at Abilities
First for 35 years and is now a teacher
at the Preschool. Cora and Gloria enjoy
playing Wii, going bowling and knitting
together. But, their very favorite interest and activity is the NY Yankees! Last
year alone, they went to four Yankees
games. They each own more Yankees
gear than they can count!
Cora continues to live in the house she
grew up in. She walks to Jazzercise
classes and sometimes attends Yoga
classes. She often does her grocery
shopping and runs her errands with
her sister and brother-in-law. Cora has
many friends in the community that she
has made throughout her life. She loves
dogs and will sometimes dog sit for her
neighbors.
For the past 9 years, Cora has worked
in Abilities First’s Accounts Payable
and Payroll offices. Cora is a bright spot
in everyone’s day in the Administrative
Building. She always has something to
say to make you smile and never misses
an opportunity to dress colorfully and
playfully for an occasion!
Cora welcomes the opportunity to tell
everyone the one wish she feels very
strongly about: She feels “it’s very important that people with disabilities be

Dear Friends,
A
s Thanksgiving quickly approaches during my first year in the role
as President of the Board, my thoughts
turn to those for whom I am most grateful. At Abilities First, that equates to an
endless list of individuals who, day-in
and day-out, dedicate themselves to improving the lives of people with developmental disabilities.
I’d like to begin by expressing the organization’s deepest gratitude to Executive
Director John Thoman for his nearly 35
years of service to Abilities First and for
his endless efforts to further the mission
of the organization. He will surely be
missed! We wish him all the best as he
retires next month.
I’d like to thank our many managers,
counselors, therapists, teachers and
hard-working staff who tirelessly make
each day one of promise for our consumers.
And how could we not thank our own
consumers for making our days so rewarding? How could we not thank their
families for entrusting us with the care
of their loved ones? There is, perhaps,
no greater endorsement than that.
I would also like to extend a special note
of gratitude to my fellow board members, an outstanding group of professionals, who continuously volunteer to
take time out of their busy schedules to
share their talent and expertise--all to
help further the cause for people with
disabilities. They have led this organization through many a tough time and
through many a difficult decision, and
I look forward to working with them as
the new year approaches.
nization would certainly not survive—
or thrive-- without it.
Yes. There is so much to be grateful
for here at Abilities First. Our bounty
is great, and I look forward to watching
our consumers continue to experience
all the riches that affords.
Wishing you all the blessings of a holiday filled with family and dear friends.
Sincerely,
Jeanine Agnolet

ABILITIES FIRST STAFF
MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
L
ast year Rick Lavigne, resident of the Abilities First’s Ermo House who has always
wanted to be a pilot, was given the opportunity by his residential manager, Donna
King when he co-piloted a Comanche airplane with Donna’s partner and pilot, David
Noble. After that experience, Rick moved on to his next dream – skydiving - like his favorite action star Chuck Norris did in the movie “Delta Force 2”! On April 9, 2012 Rick
was given the opportunity to live this dream as well. In tandem with master skydiver Steve
Webb at Skydive the Ranch, Rick jumped out of a Cessna Caravan from about 1,350 feet.
Rick, who communicates primarily by pointing to letters and phrases on a board he carries, proclaimed about the experience “it was awesome.”
Above, Rick preps for his jump
with assistance from Donna King
and Richard Judge

Tommy Meets the Hulk!
F
or many years it has been a dream of Tommy Dzubian’s to
meet the wrestler Hulk Hogan. Thanks to Northeast Wrestling and some of Abilities First’s residential services staff his
dream has come true. This past September, Abilities First staff
arranged for Tommy to attend Wrestling Under the Stars at
Dutchess Stadium. Much to Tommy’s amazement Hulk Hogan
spotted him in the crowd and made his way over to Tommy
to ‘chat.’ Tommy also met a variety of other wrestling stars
including Rowdy Roddy Piper, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Vader,
Matt Hardy, Angelina Love, and Wrestling Manager - “Mouth
of the South” - Jimmy Hart. Meeting Hulk Hogan and having
his picture taken with his wrestling idols was truly a once in
a lifetime experience for Tommy who now has several new
framed pieces to add to his collection of wrestler photos.

Residential Program
Hosts a
Double Celebration
S
taff in the Residential Department eagerly seized the
opportunity to host a party in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Abilities First and the 30th birthday of Ermo
House. What began as a fashion show event to showcase
a participant’s sewing project soon expanded to include
many additional interests and activities of the residents’.
Art instructor, Theresa O’Connor created wonderful displays of the residents’ creative works as well as historical
pictures depicting Abilities First’s residential program over
time. Ed Thorney, Recreation Therapist and musician, organized a lively band, with Waryas House participants on
drums, that provided musical entertainment all evening.
Beverages and snacks were donated by Hannaford and a
delicious barbeque buffet was also served. Long time staff
members Bill Carroll, Amanda Crowley and Linda Wiley
were given the honor of blowing out the candles on two
cakes that were donated by Price Chopper for the occasion.
And, to truly make this a special event Donna King, Ermo
House Manager, invited Cinderella and Prince Charming to
be special guests and master of ceremonies for the fashion
show and throughout the evening.

Volunteer Brings Back Abilities First’s
Adult Education Program
A
s Dr. Lori Crispi’s term on Abilities
First’s board was coming to an end,
she felt that she couldn’t just walk away.
“I enjoyed being part of the organization
so much, especially the work I did on a
committee that allowed me to be around
the adults with disabilities that the organization serves. It just didn’t feel right
walking away, I wanted to do more.”
One of our programs in need of support
had just the opportunity for Crispi, an
Associate Professor of Psychology at
Marist College. Until 2009 the Abilities First’s Work Training Center (a vocational program where adults are able
to do paid work for private businesses
with the assistance and support of Abilities First staff) was able to offer an adult
education program to as many as 20 participants through Dutchess County BOCES until funds for the program were
no longer available. The participants
at the Work Training Center were not
happy when the program ended. “For
the past three years not a week goes by
that one of our participants doesn’t ask
me when the program is coming back”,
says Charlie Bender, Director of WTC,
“these are adults with disabilities that
were school aged at a time when educational opportunities for them were
limited or not available at all. Many of
them have the capacity to learn but have
never been given the opportunity.”
With hardly a break, Dr.. Crispi was
back at Abilities First, teaching adult
education to five participants each Tuesday morning in the newly re-launched
“Learning Center”. Along with learning basic reading, writing and math
the group covers daily news events,
weather, politics, health, nutrition, safety, and more. Dr. Crispi was also able
to secure a donation of two computers
to the Center from Marist College and
even brought in an artist to work with
the participants. Dr. Crispi says that it’s
been incredible to see how each of her
‘students’ has flourished in the 4 months
since she’s been working with them.
Each individual has abilities in different
areas that have been ‘unlocked’ through
the social and educational opportunities
the program has given them access to,
including forming new friendships, and
helping their ‘classmates’ with physical
limitations.
