Florida Hospital expands S.T.A.R. For patients with Autism, Special Needs
Quote:
Florida Hospital for Children developed a S.T.A.R. program that provides customized treatment plans for patients with special needs.
The “S.T.A.R. program (Sensory, Tactile, Auditory Rock stars) is built on specialized training for child life specialists, nurses and other clinicians, and a standardized treatment form accessible by the entire care team,” a news release said.
The S.T.A.R. program allows caregivers to learn about the patient’s triggers, how to keep them calm, and deescalate issues before they can arise.
