STAR Autism Support Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Value Statement
STAR Autism Support is committed to the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We celebrate the differences that make each person unique, both at work and in the communities we serve. Through the use of evidence-based practices we strive every day to make positive educational outcomes accessible to all students and educators. This commitment is also foundational to our company culture. Our DEI committee was established as a space for employees to consider the broad challenges related to equity and social justice, critically investigate our own understanding and advocacy of DEI values, and prioritize our implementation of the Global Diversity & Inclusion Benchmarks (GDIB, linked).
