Access, Opportunity & Acceptance

When parents realise that their child’s development is not progressing in line with age-appropriate norms they face concerns about the child’s present and future.  They want access to high quality services for their children and to information and support for themselves.  They want opportunities for their children to reach their potential and for their own involvement in decisions about day-to-day learning and the transition to school.  They want their children to be accepted and included in a community that values and becomes more knowledgeable about difference.  Access, opportunity and acceptance are what the STaR (Special Teaching and Research) Association represents.
