Bright Stars School Readiness Program

This past September, CBF started our Bright Stars Program, a new program for adolescents either in school or preparing to enter school. Ms. Connie runs the group three days a week with support from behavior technicians.  

Here are some highlights from group:

• Daily opportunities to practice personal hygiene skills, social skills, exercise time, keyboarding, and leisure skills  

• Groups are small and focus on independence of skills instead of “correctness” 

• We practice school routines and protocols including morning meetings, following visual schedules, group learning stamina, and independent classroom mobility 

• Routine coordination with Speech and Feeding to enhance and reinforce what they are learning in other disciplines 

• BCBAs analyze data for any changes that need to be made to enhance growth in the above areas 

We love our Bright Stars classroom, and it has been incredible to watch the kids who participate grow over the past six months! Thanks Connie for all the hard work you've poured into this program!
