STAR Autism Support^® Acquires RoboKind^® to Expand Tools and Support for Educators Serving Students with Disabilities

BEAVERTON, Ore. —  STAR Autism Support (SAS) today announced its acquisition of RoboKind as part of its ongoing commitment to investing in the tools, technology, professional learning, and support districts need to improve outcomes for students with disabilities. The acquisition brings together two complementary organizations focused on helping educators strengthen instruction, build capacity, and create meaningful student progress.

Together, the organizations bring deep experience across evidence-based curriculum, instructional technology, professional learning, coaching, and practical classroom resources. This combination allows SAS to support districts more comprehensively as they work to strengthen instruction, expand educator confidence, and build sustainable systems that improve outcomes for students.

At the heart of this next chapter is a shared belief that lasting student success begins with confident, well-supported educators. Together, STAR Autism Support and RoboKind are expanding opportunities for districts to provide teachers with the resources, training, coaching, and technology they need to create meaningful learning experiences while building lasting instructional capacity within their schools.

“Our organizations have always shared a common purpose: helping educators create meaningful outcomes for students with disabilities,” said Jesse Arick, CEO of STAR Autism Support. "This acquisition reflects our continued investment in helping districts access the resources, relationships, expertise, and tools they need to build capacity and create lasting impact for educators and students alike."

Brian Baggs, CEO of RoboKind, added, “Coming together allows us to serve schools in even more meaningful ways. We're combining innovative technology, evidence-based practices, and implementation expertise to provide educators with practical resources they can use every day while continuing to invest in their long-term success.”

In the months ahead, districts and partners will see continued investment in expanded resources, professional learning, implementation support, and clearer ways to engage with SAS’s growing portfolio of tools and services. Existing products, services, and customer support will continue as the teams work thoughtfully to bring the strengths of both organizations together.

While there is much to look forward to, one thing remains unchanged: our commitment to listening to educators, working alongside districts, and providing practical support that helps teachers feel confident, students succeed, and school systems grow stronger over time.

For STAR Autism Support and RoboKind, this next chapter is about continuing to invest in what districts need most: practical tools, trusted support, stronger educator capacity, and meaningful outcomes for students with disabilities.
