Adaptive Gymnastics Instructor (for kids on the neurodivergent spectrum)

About us Sierra Adaptive Gymnastics & Cheer LLC, nicknamed SAGC, is an adaptive gymnastics program founded by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). After noticing an increase in children, teens, and adults with developmental disabilities without access to the same type of programs as their neurotypical peers, SAGC was founded to be that solution. There are not many recreational or competitive programs that are coached and created by a professional in the field of developmental disabilities that can take into account the adaptations and modifications that are needed for this population. In addition, there is an increased need for this population of individuals to expend energy, gain sensory input, and build motor skills in an organized setting. SAGC strives to provide just that for our athletes. We are rewarding, inclusive and fun.
