Learn more about STAR's Successful Initiatives in Texas!

The Texas Collaborative Autism Project began in the summer of 2018 with the mission of developing and implementing a comprehensive model of services designed to improve outcomes for students with autism. Through a collaborative process between local districts and STAR Autism Support, educators were trained and coached within their classrooms in an effort to improve the implementation (both quality and consistency) of evidence-based practices. The positive results of these efforts have been significant and far-reaching.
