Founder
Jim Bradley
After earning an MA in speech pathology from Wayne State University, Jim’s career path was shaped during his time working at RIM (Rehab Institute of Michigan) in the 1980s. A significant number of the clients that Jim treated at RIM had difficulty applying what they learned in the clinical setting to their real life.
Jim believed there was a better way, thus the vision for Rehab Pathways Group began to form. Jim began RPG in 1990, and since that time RPG has been assisting clients in their own home by teaching them skills they would need to live as independently as possible. His vision forged a legacy that serves others to this day.

Vocational Counselor
Linda Rosberg received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Gerontology and her Masters of Arts in Guidance and Counseling. She is a licensed professional counselor by the state of Michigan. She has been with RPG since October of 2014. She specializes in job development/placement and has been very successful in her placement ratios and placing persons with disabilities in jobs, community service positions or related venues. She works with a variety of medical and rehabilitation professionals to best assist her clients and their families. She has been a case manager for over 30 years. Prior to case management, she worked with senior citizens in the community. In addition to her consulting practice, she works with the special needs department at The Jewish Community Center. This is a social group for adults in the community with special needs. She has been with this group for over 30 years. Her husband and two children, Emily and Jacob, also participate as volunteers with this group. Volunteering and working in the community are very important to Linda. Linda has successfully placed persons in such venues as office and retail stores, the school district, local sports arenas, day care facilities, and as host/hostess. She has placed nurses, engineers, and teachers. There are no limits. Depending on the severity of the disability, some employers may not even know of the challenges these people have overcome. She often advocates for them but just as often, as a counselor, she focuses on what they can do and how to present themselves on their own to an employer. Linda’s philosophy: “Everyone is capable of doing something, with or without disabilities. By placing people with disabilities in jobs or as volunteers in the community it brings awareness to their capabilities and provides inclusion for persons of all abilities. Disabilities don’t define people – they are people with disabilities and as we all age and grow, we are all exposed to obstacles that create challenges. Theirs are no different.”
Most recently, Linda became a court approved mediator. In this position, she helps people to resolve various issues including domestic, guardianship and civil matters.
Linda can also assist on files in litigation. She offers her vocational opinion for legal matters and can provide expert testimony.

Our Philosophy
We believe in practicing a community-based approach that allows our clients the most direct and effective route to gaining a higher level of independence. Our philosophy of treatment stresses a functionally oriented approach.
From this perspective, we make much less use of ‘paper and pencil’ rehabilitation tasks that form the backbone of treatment in many other settings. We begin by assessing the specific strengths and weaknesses of each client, identifying those areas in which they are independent, the areas in which they are dependent and those in which treatment can reasonably be expected to yield functional improvement. From this starting point, we focus on maximizing client independence, functional adaptation and recovery.
COMMUNITY BASED
REHABILITATION APPROACH
- Focusing our treatment on helping individuals to gain the practical daily skills needed to live independently within their own chosen community.
- Using naturalistic settings and available community resources as a part of treatment to the greatest extent possible.
