No One Parents Alone
Ready to Become SAGE Certified?
Each year, a disproportionate number of children of parents with disabilities enter foster care after their parenting capacity is evaluated using assessment methods that were never designed or adapted for parents with disabilities.
​
The U.S. Departments of Justice and Health and Human Services (DOJ/HHS) have identified this practice as discriminatory and have called for parenting evaluations that provide appropriate accommodations and equal access for parents with disabilities.
​
At Adaptive Parenting Solutions and the SAGE Institute for Adaptive Parenting, we specialize in disability-informed adaptive parenting assessments that recognize parents’ strengths while identifying the supports and conditions that help families succeed.
​
The SAGE Institute offers certification training that prepares social service professionals to conduct fair, disability-informed adaptive parenting assessments for parents with disabilities and their families.
