Morning Star—where people matter. We teach functional skills that impact a person’s everyday life. With 11 categories of independence, we take a data-based approach with practical solutions. Using a holistic approach, we treat the person as a whole and work to reach their dreams, not ours. This method has been piloted in two states with three different populations, from high school to adults, with much success.
The 11 categories of independence include:
social skills
Teaching what is okay, and when.
food and nutrition
Combining healthy recipes with fresh and wholesome foods that are simple to manage in the kitchen.
vocational skills
Everyone is capable of improvement and the dignity of work.
practical english
People need to learn to read their electric bill, not flash cards.
household duties
Teaching responsibility and self sufficiency.
safety and survival
Do you know how to reset your circuit breaker after a power outage?
mentorship
Matching people with people, creating community.
money and budgeting
A comprehensive program to understand the value of a dollar.
self care
Teaching people so they can do for themselves.
computers and technology
Using assistive devices and technology as an asset, not an adversary.
constructive leisure time
Planning activities with real friends that don’t break the bank.
how can we help?
Morning Star has the blessing and honor of working with a diverse group of people. We help adults and children with behavioral concerns and learning difficulties. Our partners are well seasoned in helping individuals with both developmental disabilities, Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Illness and Autism. We are able to accomplish this through the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Our ABA methods can find the reasons for behaviors and use that data to help individuals find better ways to interact with their environment. Our passion is to serve people by putting them in control of their own future.

Based on excellence, we strive to provide the least intrusive, yet most effective behavioral interventions with supports that can be sustained by the individual’s natural environment.
diversity statement
Diversity is imperative to create. Here, there is a place for you. No matter the color, beliefs, background, or gender, we covet your perspective and need it as we change lives through behavior analysis. Our goal is to create environments where everyone not only feels heard but feels the freedom to create together. True collaboration.
