Sociocultural Evaluation: Indicators

STAR is an educational curriculum developed specifically for students on the

autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is used by school districts across the country,

including many Autism Support Classrooms in the School District of Philadelphia

(STAR, 2020).

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopment disorder that is described by

problems with social communication and social interaction alongside limited and rhythmic

patterns in behaviors, activities, and interests. To meet the diagnostic criteria for ASD

according to DSM-5, “a child must have persistent deficits in each of three areas of social

communication and interaction plus at least two of four types of restricted, repetitive

behaviors” (CDC, 2020).

The types of ASD include Classical Autism which is the broadest and most

predominant form of autism. Asperger’s which classify individuals who fall under the high

functioning autism spectrum. Pervasive Development Disorder which is used to classify

people who do not fit into any specific category of Autism. Childhood Disintegrative

Disorder, known as Heller’s Syndrome; usually only affects toddlers and preschoolers. Rett’s

, Syndrome occurs only in girls and is the only form of Autism Spectrum Disorder that can be

diagnosed and medically confirmed.

The STAR Program (Strategies for Teaching based on Autism Research,) was found

by the 2001 National Research Council and uses several of the evidence-based practices that

are recognized in the 2009 National Standards Report and 2014 National Professional

Development Report.




The specific target of focus are preschool and elementary ages who are diagnosed with

autism. STAR is a research based, comprehensive curriculum that is centered around the

principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA is an effective method for teaching a

range of skills to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Research proves that it has

positive effects on the behavior of children with ASD. ABA is also approved and funded by

the U.S. Surgeon General’s office, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the National

Institute of Child Health and Human Development, among other organizations and agencies.

The Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring state that “ADDM reports

have consistently noted that more White children are identified with ASD than Black or

Hispanic children (CDC, 2020). Prior studies have indicated that the stigma and lack of access

to healthcare facilities are due to the non-citizenship, low-income, and non-English speaking

individuals as a primary language. These are the possible obstacles to identify children with

ASD particularly among Hispanic individuals. The disparity between Black and Hispanic

individuals with ASD in comparison to White individuals suggests that they may not be

receiving the services, or the support needed.

There have been no concerns or limitations recorded from STAR that is apparent in

regarding the effective provision of assessment and intervention strategies across

sociocultural groups. Although there were no apprehensions that were recorded from STAR,
