About Us Adult Services Children Services Employment News Events Foundation More About Us Adult Services Children Services Employment News Events Foundation More Donate Now Transition Apartments This innovative housing opportunity in Monroe County provides a stepping stone allowing tenants leaving their family home or a certified residential setting, the opportunity to enhance their skill set as they move toward independent living. CP Rochester opened their Transitional Apartments in late 2020. In this non-certified 7-unit apartment, individuals have their own one-bedroom apartment in an encouraging environment. The living experience offers individuals access to staff during working hours and promotes independence and problem-solving. The small, secure apartment setting allows tenants to learn the skills necessary to be successful in an apartment while reducing risks, such as locking doors, checking visitors’ identities, learning to protect personal information, and more. Community Habilitation staff meet with tenants one-on-one or in small groups to work on individual objectives. Staff utilize a combination of techniques to teach and reinforce new skills including observation, modeling, verbal prompting, and experiential learning. Individualized goals focus on skills development to succeed in community-based settings including cooking, cleaning, shopping, time management, appointment setting, safety skills, and appropriate communication with landlords, neighbors, doctors, and other natural and community supports.

Children Services The Augustin Children’s Center is an accessible, modern, and well-equipped facility. The preschool caters to children with and without disabilities ages three to five, and it offers early intervention services for ages two and under. The Center boasts many features not offered by other providers such as a warm-water indoor pool, a large gymnasium with a stage, an outdoor exploratory classroom, a large playground with a ‘safe surface,’ and fully integrated classrooms and programs. Offering support and guidance to the entire family, CP Rochester’s Augustin Children’s Center builds a foundation for success in a nurturing environment through quality education and therapeutic services. Early Intervention Early Intervention : Services such as special education, speech, social work, and occupational/physical therapy to children with a wide range of disabilities from birth to age three. Parents, teachers, and therapists work together to create individual plans for each child. Special Education : Our teachers use targeted games, activities, and play techniques to help children engage in the world around them. Speech Therapy : Therapists use sign language, vocabulary development, and articulation training to help children build communication skills. They also work with children with eating and swallowing difficulties. Physical Therapy : Allows children to work on muscle strength, coordination, flexibility, and mobility. Our warm water pool (94 degrees) helps children achieve maximum range of motion while building core strength, tone, and balance. Plus, it’s fun! Occupational Therapy : Helps develop the skills necessary to be successful in fine motor, self-help, and sensory skills. This may include activities such as feeding and dressing, manipulating toys, pre-writing, and being able to take in and respond appropriately to stimuli in the environment. Home/Community Services : To best support families and understand how children interact with their home environment, therapists, teachers, and parents work as a team providing services at home, daycare, and other community settings. Family Services : One of the important goals of early intervention is working with the entire family for the benefit of the child. All parents can participate in individual counseling sessions to help manage challenges. A master’s level social worker helps families access other needed community programs and resources. The Early Intervention Program is funded through New York State and Monroe County for children under the age of three who have an eligible diagnosis or developmental delay. To determine your child’s eligibility, contact the Monroe County Early Intervention Program at 585-753-5437. Eligibility will be determined by a NYS-approved evaluator contracted by Monroe County. If your child is eligible, services will be implemented at no cost to you. Programs are designed to help all children take full advantage of their educational and growth potential. The developmentally-appropriate curriculum addresses each child’s individual needs. Activities are properly adapted to each child’s abilities and interests, supporting the areas of communication, physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Children are given the opportunity to imagine, learn, and problem-solve within a stimulating and challenging environment. Experiences in art, music, reading, language, social development, large/small muscle development, as well as a nutritionally-balanced snack are offered. Independence is always encouraged. We offer integrated preschool opportunities designed to meet the intensive, individual needs of children with multiple diagnoses Spectrum Disorder.

Integrated Preschool As a universal pre-kindergarten provider, CP Rochester’s Augustin Children’s Center provides integrated preschool services to children with and without disabilities. Each classroom is led by a special education teacher with the assistance of classroom aides. We strive for a 1:4 adult-to-child ratio. We offer music sessions through our licensed music therapist. For those children in our preschool program who require therapeutic services, skilled therapists conduct sessions directly in the classroom whenever possible, integrating with the child’s educational experience and allowing the child to maintain a presence with their peers. By being fully integrated, children with disabilities can model their peers' age-appropriate behavior with access to higher learning standards. Children without disabilities have access to a language-enriched, therapeutic learning environment and gain an appreciation of diversity and differences.
