Community Connections was founded in October, 1985 by current President Donna Sabecky. When an accident left her confined to a wheelchair for six months, she became aware of the unique needs encountered by people with disabilities and the lack of adequate services to meet those needs.
The first programs to open were Employment Services in Fall River and the Cape Cod Day Habilitation Program. Over the new few years, the agency added a day center on Cape Cod, then Residential Services, Cape Cod Employment Services, day centers in Fall River and in 1991 secured its first transportation contract for clients.
In 1987, Community Connections obtained accreditation at the highest level from the Commission on Accreditation and Rehabilitiaiton Facilities (CARF) which it has maintained throughout its history.
Over the years, Community Connections has grown to the current organization that serves over 675 clients through nine locations and three residences in Southeastern Massachusetts. The agency offers six service programs staffed by 282 dedicated employees.
