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.      ![Stars Line 2-1](https://www.constellationsbehavioral.com/hubfs/Stars%20Line%202-1.png "Stars Line 2-1") ## Therapy Components #### What the STARS program looks like Since the STARS program is meant to get our learners ready for public school, children will start to rely less on their direct staff working with them and start listening to instructions given to a whole group, participate in social opportunities and thrive with predictable daily structure and  ![Stars Components 2](https://www.constellationsbehavioral.com/hubfs/Stars%20Components%202.png "Stars Components 2") ## How to Begin:  ### Below is what to expect when starting services with Constellations: ![Intake Process](https://www.constellationsbehavioral.com/hubfs/Intake%20Process.png "Intake Process") [Step 1: Message Us](https://www.constellationsbehavioral.com/connect-with-us?hsLang=en) ## Cost/Insurance Information ### ABA Therapy is a Medical Treatment and is covered in part or in full by most health insurance plans.
