" STARS is one of the most valuable tools on my office bookshelf. I use it often to evaluate community safety, teach about inappropriate sexual behaviors, and to structure my consultation and training to residential and vocational support providers." Patricia Miles Patterson, LCSW Midwest Center for Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy, Middleton, WI , "I count my lucky stars that my daughter participated in a STARS group. The curriculum promotes self-esteem and self-awareness, creating a foundation from which to teach about sexuality and relationships. It provides tools to help young people with disabilities to make healthy, responsible decisions." Helen Hartman, Parent, Madison, WI , "I regularly use the concepts in STARS in my teaching and my work with medical practice. It is an outstanding guidebook that has stood the test of time." William Schwab, MD Professor, University of Wisconsin, Department of Family Medicine, Madison WI

Synopsis
Educate young adults and build their self-esteem so they can make informed choices! Specially designed for teaching adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities, the STARS model focuses on four areas: Understanding Relationships, Social Skills Training, Sexual Awareness, and Assertiveness - with the goals of promoting positive sexuality and preventing sexual abuse. Assessment tools help identify the strengths and needs of each individual, and then the activities can be catered to address specific needs. Goals and activities cover a variety of important skills: building a positive self-image; making choices; learning relationship-appropriate behaviors; engaging in mature relationships; identifying body parts and understanding their functions; understanding public and private behavior; understanding sexual feelings and behaviors; understanding reproduction; health issues related to sexual awareness; recognizing a situation as potentially unsafe learning to say 'No' and using basic self-protection; and, many more!, For those with developmental disabilities like autism and Asperger's Syndrome, relationship boundaries may be blurry--or even invisible. This book is an invaluable tool for helping students understand their relationship to others, and for teaching students how to interact with others appropriately. The "STARS" program helps caregivers and professionals provide students with this knowledge, plus the self-esteem to put it into practice.

Our experiences teach us more about relationships every day. Yet, for those with developmental disabilities like autism and Asperger's Syndrome, relationship boundaries may be blurry, or even invisible. This book is an invaluable tool for helping students understand their relationship to others, and for teaching students how to interact with others appropriately. These skills are assets for establishing healthy relationships and for avoiding potentially abusive situations.

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
