The STAR Program provides strategies for teaching students with autism based on applied behavior analysis research. It uses three main teaching strategies: Discrete Trial Training, Pivotal Response Training, and Functional Routine Instruction. Discrete Trial Training breaks skills down into discrete steps and uses a consistent cue, response, and consequence structure. Pivotal Response Training embeds teaching within functional contexts using child-selected activities and natural consequences. Functional Routine Instruction teaches chains of behaviors through predictable routines like eating snacks. The program individualizes instruction across three levels and incorporates teaching across environments.
