Guiding PrinciplesBelow are some of the guiding principles we follow to help maximize each child's quality of life. Teaching StrategiesChildren have a variety of needs, preferences, and learning styles, and as a service provider, Globe Star must account for these as we develop a plan for each child. Globe Star uses three teaching strategies in our Autism Program: Structured Skill Development – technique where the skill is broken down through a task analysis and taught systematically, such as through discrete trial training Applied Skill Development – technique where skills are introduced and generalized in the natural environment Relationship and Emotional Development – technique where skills are taught during high-affect interactions that promote language and the ability to initiate These techniques complement each other to address a variety of skills and to provide a broad foundation for learning. Family InvolvementWe believe that parents are the most powerful resource in a child’s learning program. Your child may grow and flourish with the help of many wonderful teachers and professionals. But you, the parent, have love and a commitment to this child that no one else can equal. Globe Star helps parents seize the power of that love and commitment to become inspired and effective teachers, program directors, and advocates for their children.
