The STAR Center, in Jackson, Tennessee, is a model demonstration, resource and training center dedicated to ensuring that all individuals with disabilities or other special needs maximize their potential for independence and achieve their personal goals of employment, effective learning and independent living through assistive technology, assistive aids and support services.
The STAR Center’s Assistive Technology Services Department is dedicated to providing the most comprehensive assistive technology evaluation and training services to all individuals with disabilities who need access to any environment (home, work, school, public) they frequently use. The Assistive Technology Services Department has been providing both evaluation and training services to individuals with disabilities in the West Tennessee area for the past twenty years. Evaluations and training are conducted per referral from several sources including Vocational Rehabilitation, the Veteran’s Administration, local schools and self referral.
The STAR Center is also a beta test site for many conventional and assistive technology companies and their newly developed technology products.
STAR's 9th Annual KidsFest was a huge success! The event featured many unique, fun-filled, interactive activities for kids and their families. Proceeds from the event benefit STAR Center services to children and adults with disabilities in West Tennessee. Events such as KidsFest help us to fulfill their goal to never turn anyone away because of inability to pay and provide scholarships for part or all of the services needed.
