Our Community of Agencies is in every way rooted in Rochester and its surrounding communities. The full offering of services we make possible has helped children and adults with disabilities and special needs to realize a better standard of living for a half century.

And we’re still going strong.

In 1962, parents and providers dreamed of a unique way for rehabilitation agencies to share space while maintaining distinct missions and programs. They boldly envisioned a model building with fully accessible classrooms, therapy suites, and work areas adapted for each agency, as well as a therapeutic swimming pool and gymnasium open to all. With the help of a caring community, these innovators built their dream house, and the Al Sigl Center opened its doors at the original Elmwood Campus in 1968.

Today we are known as Al Sigl Community of Agencies. Together with seven Member Agencies we have grown from serving 3,000 people with disabilities in the early years to now serving over 55,000 people on six campuses.
