HOSTED WORKSHOPS  

The STAR Autism Program teaches children with autism the critical skills identified by the 2001 National Research Council. The ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) instructional methods of discrete trial training, pivotal response training and functional routines form the instructional base of this comprehensive program for children with autism.  

The STAR Program includes detailed lesson plans, teaching materials, data systems and a curriculum-based assessment for teaching in the six curricular areas of receptive language, expressive language, spontaneous language, functional routines, academics, and play & social skills.

The STAR Autism Program teaches students to learn to use basic language concepts, make verbal requests, accomplish simple routines, and engage in beginning play skills.
The STAR Autism Program teaches students to learn to expand understanding of language, use spontaneous words, master pre-academic work and play with others.
The STAR Autism Program teaches students learn to expand language and academic concepts such as, prepositions, pronouns, telling time and adding/subtracting.
