Congratulations to Mary Rosswurm, CEO, and Dennis Reid, LittleStar advisory board member, on the release of their new book.  Written for adult service organizations, the book offers a comprehensive guide on how clinicians, psychologists, and mental health support staff can best assist adults with disabilities in living their desired lifestyle.

Promoting Desired Lifestyles Among Adults with Severe Autism and Intellectual Disabilities: Person Centered Applications of Behavior Analysis uses a person-centered application of behavior analysis. The book provides procedures to help clients overcome challenging behaviors, pursue good relationships, and make good choices, while getting access to all of the support needed.

It provides information on staff training and supervision to insure staff motivation and client happiness. Ultimately, the goal is to allow client choice and personal control over their daily lifestyle.

This new book fills a much needed void in autism training and serves as another example of how LittleStar is focused not just on serving our patients, but also on advancing the field of ABA therapy.

Since 2002, LittleStar has impacted the lives of thousands of children, teens, adults and families living with autism.

Please join us in April as we celebrate Autism Awareness Month with our Big Stars for LittleStar event.

Each LittleStar center will be planting a Star Garden of blue and gold stars to represent the current prevalence rate of autism—1 in 44. Each star honors a Big Star – people with autism, as well as individuals and organizations that support children and families affected by autism.

New this year businesses can show their support of people with autism by planting a Star Garden at their location. Let your employees and customers know that you support individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. LittleStar will supply everything you need and even help you plant your garden!

Did you know that autism is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States? Your support makes it possible for LittleStar to help individuals with autism reach their goals and dreams. Thank you for being a Big Star for LittleStar!
