"FREE appreciates the direct provision of supports that the Regional Centers provides. We also appreciate their participation in collaborative workforce initiatives that help us all move our system forward. For example, participation with Stony Brook University’s workforce initiatives and the efforts of the Suffolk County coalition as well."

Robert Budd, CEO FREE

"Long Island's representatives of the RCWT have developed and shared regional resources, volunteered on committees for conference, presented themselves on resources to our provider community, provided local trainings to individual providers and conducted workshops at our Long Island DSP Conference. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable and engaging and our staff have benefitted significantly from this resource."
