We are excited to offer our STARS program!

Our flagship STARS (Social Interactions, Teamwork, Adaptability, Respect and Self-confidence) program is carefully designed to meet each individual where they are and to build skills and confidence through a progression of levels. Each level in our 10-level progression focusses on specific sociability skills and can be mastered typically through 10 sessions of sociability coaching with one of our expert coaches.

Participants will engage in role-playing, discussions, and practical exercise to hone their abilities. The ultimate goal is to develop each individual’s abilities to interact positively, build empathy, and exhibit leadership in social contexts.

Our semesters are flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of each individual. Throughout a semester parents can book check-in sessions with one of our Supervisors to discuss their child’s progress.
