We are dedicated to making West Tennessee a place where people with disabilities can make their dreams a reality.
Our Mission
The mission of the STAR Center is to help any person with any disability to realize their potential.
Our mission gives us a constant and shared purpose. It guides us on every decision we make, large and small. It is the reason we were started, the reason we exist today, and it is the reason that we will continue tomorrow.
It is intended to be spoken aloud in the form of “any person – with any disability – to realize their potential!”

Vision Statement
The STAR Center’s vision is to realize our own potential so that we may best serve others.
Our vision is one of constant improvement, always keeping in mind that we exist to help others. We are driven to find ways to better our services, our technology, and our people and expand to where there is a need.
Our vision is intended for our leadership and staff, but it also holds us to high standards to the public that we serve.

Core Values
Our Core Values are Dignity, Individualized Solutions, Compassion, and Technology.
We believe:
- All people are worthy of value and ethical, excellent treatment.
- People should be treated as individuals with individual needs.
- In offering our services regardless of the ability to pay.
- In a passion for technology and its ability to change lives.

Our Motto
Enrichment, Education, and Employment.
These are the ideals that guide what we do in helping people realize their potential.
All of our services are intended to enrich people with a better quality of life. We focus on education, as a love of learning leads to success in school and life. Employment opens the way for people with disabilities to become independent and share their talents with the community.
