Little Stars Program

The Little Star’s Program is a center-based ABA program for young children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, run in a preschool-like setting. It is designed for children 18 months to 6 years old who have been recommended for intensive ABA services. Each client works one-on-one with a trained therapist on individualized goals with a focus on social communication, social interactions, and school readiness skills.

The Little Star’s Program runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 5:00 pm. During the day, children have the opportunity to participate in individual therapy time, small group activities with peers, and activities of daily living. While many clients are in Little Star’s program for the full day, an individualized schedule is developed for each child based on his/her therapeutic needs.
