Are you talking about the Direct
Instructional approached STAR program? If yes, I am familiar. And it actually
has research to substantiate it. Not sure about the DVD’s mentioned
below.

I had not heard of this program before, but I did go
to their website.
Here's my 2 cents, however I have never seen their videos or anything
before, so this is merely my opinion.
I would be very cautious with this because it looks like a "one size
fits all" type thing. I just don't see how a few videos can train
someone to teach a child with autism all the skills they say you can
work on. Especially by DVD #2 it says you're working on answering
"wh" questions, reading sight words, etc. It seems that DVD #1 and
DVD #2 might be missing a lot of skills that would need to be taught
in between.
