For those with developmental disabilities like autism and Asperger's Syndrome, relationship boundaries may be blurry―or even invisible. This book is an invaluable tool for helping students understand their relationship to others, and for teaching students how to interact with others appropriately. The “STARS” program helps caregivers and professionals provide students with this knowledge, plus the self-esteem to put it into practice.

Educate young adults and build their self-esteem so they can make informed choices! Specially designed for teaching adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities, the STARS model focuses on four areas (Understanding Relationships, Social Skills Training, Sexual Awareness, and Assertiveness) with the goals of promoting positive sexuality and preventing sexual abuse. Assessment tools help identify the strengths and needs of each individual, and then the activities can be catered to address specific needs.

Goals and activities cover a variety of important skills

Building a Positive Self-Image

Making Choices

Learning Relationship-Appropriate Behaviors

Engaging in Mature Relationships

Identifying Body Parts and Understanding Their Functions

Understanding Public and Private Behavior

Understanding Sexual Feelings and Behaviors

Understanding Reproduction Health Issues Related to Sexual Awareness

Recognizing a Situation as Potentially Unsafe

Learning to Say No

Using Basic Self-Protect

"STARS is one of the most valuable tools on my office bookshelf. I use it often to evaluate community safety, teach about inappropriate sexual behaviors, and to structure my consultation and training to residential and vocational support providers." - Patricia Miles Patterson, LCSW Midwest Center for Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy, Middleton, WI

STARS Skills Training for Assertiveness RelationshipBuilding and Sexual Awareness Susan Heighway Susan Webster 9781932565256 Books Reviews

• I was nervous ordering this book without seeing it in person but I am really happy with this purchase. I have modified lessons for consumers ranging 10 to 60 with various diagnosis. I highly recommend this book.
• This book fulfilled my need for information on the sensitive subject of Adolescent Sexuality. It was indeed, very helpful to me when I started administering therapy on my population who needed it all.
• I have had a hard time keeping track of this manual. Of all the books on my shelf this is the one that disappears the most. I have had to start locking it up in my desk. It is great as is, but if pressed for a suggestion I would suggest that handouts for participants be included in the next edition. That's just because I am lazy )
• This book was exactly what I wanted. I will be using it as a teaching tool to help folks with developmental disabilities.;
• Very good and useful information.
