Services and Classes

There are a variety of services offered through SAGE Rochester. Scroll through and see if any of these services may be helpful to you and your family. If none of these services are what you are looking for, feel free to reach out to us to chat more.

Please note that classes listed below are open to ALL individuals, special needs or not. We welcome all - neurotypical or neurodivergent!

Has a major life event occurred, and you're not sure how to help your child cope?

​Sometimes life comes at us quick. Death, divorce, or a big move can affect everyone in the household differently. This is especially hard when a child has a disability. When this happens to a loved one, we will make personalized social stories, scripts, and more to support them through this major life event.

Is your child showing unfavorable behavior at home?

​Allow us to come observe, try to find the function of this behavior, and implement strategies and/or find and teach positive replacement behaviors for your child.
*Note: Emily is not a certified behaviorist, but does have experience working with students with behavior plans.

Special Education Student and Parent Advocate

​
​The special education process is an incredibly daunting process. Parents can be unsure of what exactly their child needs to be successful in their school environment. Allow SAGE Rochester to advocate for supports to ensure that your child receives their free and appropriate education they are entitled to.

Cultivating Independence - Executive Functioning Classes

Coaching sessions are open to anyone, but we do specialize in those with special needs. SAGE Rochester LLC provides supports and coaching for individuals using research-based strategies.

During these classes with an individual, we will focus on developing and sustaining executive functioning skills to increase independence such as time management, organization, mental flexibility, as well as practicing strategies to help self-regulate emotions.
