Our Philosophy - Systematic Treatment of Autism and Related Disorders Philosophy
STAR Services - STAR provides an array of clinical services including the following:
Resources - Raising a child with an autism spectrum disorder presents new awareness of challenges that other parents often do not have to face on a daily basis. The STAR Series provides information for parents and caregivers on ways to help children and their families.
Advisory Board - The STAR advisory board, collectively and individually, is committed to helping the program achieve its goals and objectives. Through advice, advocacy and philanthropy, the Board assists the STAR program in accomplishing its long-range plans.
