We want to share an important update with our learning community.

Beginning soon, you may notice modest price increases across some of our educational programs. As a nonprofit organization, this was not a decision we made lightly. We know how important accessible, high-quality education is for the professionals we serve, and we remain deeply committed to keeping our courses as affordable as possible.

Over the past year, we’ve invested significant time and expertise into strengthening and expanding our certification pathway courses. Many programs now feature:

• Fresh, evidence-informed content that reflects the latest developments in sensory health and neurodiversity-affirming practice
• Additional, immersive learning hours designed to enhance depth and applicability
• Richer, more reflective assessments to foster meaningful understanding and confident real-world integration
• An intentional blend of scientific rigor and relational depth—cultivating practitioners who are both clinically excellent and justice-focused, grounded in evidence and guided by empathy

These enhancements ensure that every STAR learning experience delivers not just knowledge, but transformation—empowering you to bring the highest level of skill, insight, and compassion to your clients, students, and communities.

As a nonprofit, we carefully balance financial sustainability with our mission to serve. We are continually mindful of the needs of our professional audience and do everything we can to keep costs low while ensuring our courses remain rigorous, relevant, and impactful.

Thank you for being part of our community and for supporting our mission to advance learning, connection, and inclusive practice. We are grateful to continue growing and learning alongside you.

If you have questions or would like help choosing a course or pathway, our team is always here to help.

With appreciation,
STAR Institute
