SARAH Tuxis is recognized for it's emphasis on creating individualized supports. Over half of the people supported by the agency receive services through individual contracts. This is an option under the Medicaid Title 19 program as administered by the Connecticut Department of Developmental Disabilities. SARAH Tuxis is unique amongst Connecticut agencies as it provides more of these supports than any of its peers throughout the state.
Our unique approach to supporting people with disabilities and their families comes from our Arc roots along with the SARAH tradition of listening to families and designing the supports they want.
SARAH Tuxis is one of the few agencies in the State who have staff that are skilled at using person centered tools for creating individual support plans. PATH Plans are one resource we utilize to create a graphic representation of where an individual is now and where he/she wants to be in the future. This process includes the input of families and friends and produces a multidimensional plan that is rich in content. This provides agency staff with specific personal outcomes that they are responsible to achieve.
SARAH Tuxis puts great value on ensuring that an individuals hopes and dreams are achieved. Agency staff fully embrace this perspective and take great pride in making sure the people they support achieve their goals.
