We specialize in helping children ages 0-21 with all abilities achieve their full potential in a fun and loving environment by participating in everyday activities that are significant to them (i.e., eating, talking, sitting up to play with toys, playing catch with a friend or riding a bike.) At C-STARs, we aim high, we aim big, we shoot for the stars, and we get there through small incremental doable steps. We believe a child’s work is play and we are passionate about our work!
