The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) at Kennedy Krieger Institute archives its previous STAR trainings to allow parents and professionals to access the presentations at a time most convenient to them. If there was a training you wanted to attend in the past, but could not fit into your schedule, you will find all of the resources from that training on these pages, including videos of the actual presentation, handouts, and downloadable Power Point slides.
