Open house May 2016

Triform once again, opened our community doors to share a brief look into daily life when we hosted an Open House and Campus Tour on May 14, 2016. These events offer an opportunity to experience the many and varied programs that Triform offers to young adults with special needs.

Several families and their children with special needs were in attendance and able to visit the work areas, classrooms, one of the community homes and the community center. Co-workers and current students were busy in their chosen work areas, whether it was the Pottery or Weavery studios, Farm and Garden or the Bakery. Meg Henderson welcomed everyone and the student bell choir performed for the group.

People in attendance came from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and even Missouri. The admissions group was on hand to answer questions about criteria for admission, the application process and finances. After the tour, we gathered to socialize and enjoy refreshments.

Triform will host an Open House twice a year in the Spring and Fall. If you know any families who are looking for a youth guidance, residential or day habilitation program for their young- adult child, please have them contact us for more information at 518.851.9320 or admissions@triform.org.

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter

Baking in Triform: Love in the batter by Meg Henderson Holly and Jamie I have a large collection of cookbooks, some I turn to more often than others. They are usually seasonally inspired with fresh organic produce as the staple ingredient. I am actually lulled to sleep often by looking at glossy photos of “ Classic Irish Cabbage and Bacon soup” or “ Roast Lamb with Lemons and Rosemary.” I wonder if this makes me a little odd. I am thrilled to discover when travelling a ‘Whole Foods' market or a ‘Trader Joes', and remember as a student in sub -tropical South Africa taking a bus on Fridays to the Indian markets in the city center to buy fresh curry leaves and coriander for dhal; a marvelously economical dish, lasting several days. However, I digress. I am inspired by the pictures of steaming pasta with pesto and can smell summer in basil’s almost acrid green smell. Most summers I take my turn with other Triform coworkers, with my kids and students to pr...
