January 28, 2026

Herkimer's LIFE at RCIL is making everyday skills more accessible through a hands‑on laundry training program designed specifically for people with disabilities. This WKTV feature highlights how the program helps participants build confidence, learn essential laundry skills, and gain greater independence in their daily lives.

The WKTV feature “Helping People with Disabilities Get Through the Spin Cycle” highlights how RCIL’s LIFE Division created a hands‑on laundry skills program designed to support individuals with disabilities in building everyday independence. The story notes that the program provides direct, practical assistance to help participants learn how to manage laundry tasks confidently — an essential skill that contributes to greater autonomy in daily life.

The initiative reflects RCIL’s mission of empowering people with disabilities by offering meaningful training opportunities rooted in real‑world settings. By teaching participants how to navigate the “spin cycle” with support and encouragement, RCIL is helping individuals strengthen their life‑skills foundation and enhance their ability to live independently within their communities.
