North Star Academy provides early behavioral intervention for children ages 2½ to 12 years with intellectual or developmental disabilities, including children with autism spectrum disorder. 

We focus on the individual child, taking into consideration their unique abilities, individual interests, and family’s priorities to develop an individualized curriculum intervention plan. Research shows that those children with intellectual and developmental disabilities who receive early, individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) intervention have a greater chance for future success.

Our goal is for children to acquire the skills necessary for inclusion in public schools, independent living, and meaningful social relationships. We use the principles of ABA to provide best-practice, empirically based treatment.

North Star Academy’s approach includes:
- Evidence-Based Individualized Intervention
- Applied Research Program
- Inclusive Setting (on the campus of North Star Child Development Center with Johnson County Montessori School)
- Training and Practicum Site
