STARS Program Overview
Stars- (System of Transitioning Acquisition and Retention Skills)
Stars is a focused treatment model targeting social and emotional learning necessary to make and keep friends and interact meaningfully in a classroom setting. With a systematic approach, tailoring treatment to the individualized outcomes of the learner, skill targets focus on the successful progression from individualized learning to group learning. Therapy is planned intentionally to promote meaningful interactions between children to cultivate friendships. Clinicians work with the learner and their family to develop individualized strategies that promote relationship building, independence, and self-advocation skills.
As students start to master communication skills, it's an important next step to teach them the social skills they will use in a classroom setting at school such as:
- Following group directions
- Taking turns
- Sharing materials
- Lining up
- Being able to ask peers and staff for help to get their needs met.
