SARAH Membership

A chapter of the Arc of Connecticut

SARAH’s membership as a local chapter in the Arc makes us a unique family of agencies.  Our history began like many around the country where a few families came together – the Spencer’s, Reinhardsen’s, and McNeil’s - to form their local Arc and then joined both the State and National chapters.  Arc organizations like SARAH were created by families to serve their loved ones in times when few services were available.  Since our inception, SARAH and the Local, State and the National Arc have been the voice of families, advocating for more resources and services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

The Arc is the world’s largest community based organization of and for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It provides an array of services and support for families and individuals and includes over 140,000 members affiliated through more than 850 state and local chapters across the nation. The Arc is devoted to promoting and improving supports and services for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
