The STAR Program-Level II is part of a comprehensive, three-level program based on Applied Behavioral Analysis, using Discrete Trial (DT), Pivotal Response (PRT), and Functional Routine (FR) training strategies. The STAR Program helps students with autism and other developmental disabilities master receptive, expressive, and spontaneous language; functional skills; pre-academic concepts; and play and social interaction concepts.

Now in its second edition, the improved and enhanced STAR Program encompasses the latest research on evidence-based practices, includes feedback from professionals’ implementation and training on the program, and presents the authors’ knowledge gained from experiences over the last ten years. The primary goal of the program revision was to ease the program’s implementation with fidelity.

“Level II expands on the skills learned in Level I, teaching more advanced concepts in language, academics, play and social areas, and functional routines. Level II teaches students to identify many new nouns, verbs, and people in their environment; to follow two-step commands; to request for their desires in a variety of ways; to spontaneously comment on things in their environment; and to learn simple math, reading and writing skills.” Page 2 of the Program Manual
