ABOUT THE SAGE CENTER
SAGE Center for Gifted is a families' first step in securing needed guidance and direction for the decisions they need to make regarding the assessment, educational, and clinical support of their children when traditional processes are not their path.
Often times, it takes several years of schooling before a student's progress alerts parents that something may not be a fit. It is at this time that parents are typically left to make critical decisions regarding next steps without an expert opinion or someone to talk to who understands completely-- leaving them to learn on their own through trial and sometimes error. This wastes valuable time and energy. Tapping into the expert advice at SAGE Center early, is a valuable investment as it can help save years of frustration for both parents and most importantly, their students.
Realizing the importance of making good decisions as quickly and smoothly as possible both at the foundational stage of beginning education, or at a crossroads in a current situation. SAGE Center, through the expertise of its founder, Renu Rose, can introduce all the available options for support, resources and educational settings that best fit each student's needs. More importantly, Renu will arm families with the critical knowledge of their student's true needs through conversation and deep assessment which makes a solid plan of recommended action possible.
