Portland, Oregon – STAR Autism Support offers a remote learning curriculum to assist school districts in providing online services for students with special needs. The STAR Online Learning System (SOLS) provides special educators a remote learning curriculum for preschool, elementary, and secondary students during times of school closures. SOLS offers subscribers a completely online-based platform with 120 lesson plans, professional development, and real-time online coaching. With three leveled strands to address the educational needs of students with significant learning challenges, SOLS makes remote learning a truly viable option.
With the release of new United States Department of Education guidelines concerning students with disabilities, school systems are in the difficult position of making local decisions regarding the provision of distance instruction to students. In this unique and unprecedented environment, STAR Autism Support supports school districts in their mission to provide a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) consistent with the need to protect the health and safety of students with disabilities. In light of these new guidelines regarding a distance instruction provision of FAPE, STAR Autism Support offers SOLS subscribers as a pathway to continued education for students with autism and other developmental disabilities.
“All students deserve access to educational services, no matter the circumstances,” said STAR Autism Support’s CEO Jesse Arick. “Addressing students' needs during school breaks and disruptions can feel particularly challenging for students with significant needs. However, it is these students who are the most vulnerable to regression and susceptible to longer periods of recoupment when school is not in session. With new guidelines from the U.S. Department of Education urging educators to reconsider remote learning for students with disabilities, SOLS provides a solution. Our program facilitates collaboration between educators and caregivers so they can work together to help continue their students’ education. We are committed to providing solutions to keep students moving forward in their learning.”
