About Us

STaR works across early years, school-aged and post-school settings to ensure progressive, meaningful and inclusive learning for people with disabilities.

We do this through:

Special Education
This is specially designed teaching instruction to meet the unique learning needs of a person with disability, delivered by Special Educators who are qualified professionals with a postgraduate degree.

Teaching
We develop and deliver evidence-based professional learning for educators, teachers and support workers, bridging the gap between research and practice. We coach and mentor those who work with people with disabilities across all settings and age groups.

and

Research
Research underpins all of our work. We invest in staying abreast of international best practice and cutting-edge research so that STaR programs and practices meet the highest standards. We are also committed to the conduct of our own research in partnership with Universities to understand the impact of our work, inform our program decision-making, and contribute to the international research base. For STaR, research and practice go hand in hand as we strive to provide the best possible support for children and young adults with disability or delay, their families, and the professionals who are our partners in delivering high-quality care and learning opportunities.
