Perspectives Corporation was founded in 1977 by its current President and CEO, David Ruppell. His Undergraduate and Graduate College work having exposed him to different needs in the community, Mr. Ruppell has worked with people with a variety of disabilities since 1970. After completing his undergraduate degree in 1974 he and his wife spent several years in Massachusetts opening several homes for some of the first people leaving the institutions. These experiences and his colleagues in Rhode Island led him back here to become a service provider. History of Disabilities in RI
