Dear Friends of SARAH Inc.,

SARAH Inc. is proud to be successfully delivering services in these ever changing times. The KIDSTEPS program is still accepting new referrals and offering virtual evaluations and services to hundreds of families throughout Connecticut. Our Adult Services programs are in Phase Two of resuming in-person supports being led by directives from the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and the State of Connecticut. As we continue to move forward, we will be reducing our COVID-19 and agency updates down to once a month. Starting in the new calendar year we will be returning to our standard quarterly newsletter format. Please know we will continue to offer supports safely, and we will keep you informed if something important develops in-between our communications.

Moreover, October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). This NDEAM is particularly unique as we are commemorating the 75^th anniversary of National Disability Employment Awareness Month and the 30^th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Both milestones highlight the cumulative achievements that we as a nation have all made together to increase access and opportunities for those with disabilities.

This NDEAM we want to recognize Paul, one of the individuals we support at SARAH Inc. He is currently employed at The United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) in New London, CT. Established in May of 2002, Paul is one of the original founding members of the crew working at the USCGA. He is always looking to develop new skills and regularly requests additional responsibilities. In 2019, Paul received a certificate recognizing him for his achievements and his position as Lead Crewmen.

In this role, Paul oversees the work of three co-workers and is well known in his local community as well as in the USCGA community.

Stay safe and enjoy your weekend.

Sincerely,

Denise Henry
