The STAR program is also a teaching tool. It is a good program for young and/or naive learners as it starts with very early functional skills like matching, counting, etc. They are prerequisite skills, in some cases, for future skills to be learned. The teachers are taught to use discrete trials to initially teach the skill, then to move to natural environment methods. It's a good starting program and keeps teachers who use the program on a schedule and focused on some functional goals and skills. It is important to note these skills and goals are separate from the IEP in many cases. Not every child has these goals listed on their IEP's and shouldn't b/c it would then limit the child to pre-fab goals as opposed to individualized goals for that child.

In my experience, the best programs for parents to unite and push for would be the VB-MAPP. Check it out online. It's the newer and more functional version of the ABLLS, which utilizes verbal behavior. The VB-MAPP incorporates early childhood milestones and helps with IEP planning and goals. Great program for our young/naive learners!

Ida-My husband was acting weird and wanted me to post that email. After I posted the email and then explained to him the way things are run for Tyler and showed him that private schools do not have to follow any of the guidlines for Broward County or the state for education he was fine, but of course I can not delete the post so Im the one getting embarassed, not him.
