The first iteration of STAR Institute was founded in 1979 by Dr. Lucy Jane Miller the Director Emeritus who retired in October 2019. The foundation was funded by U.S. Public Health Service division of Maternal and Child Health (MCH). The Wallace Research Foundation was attracted by the foundation in 1995 and helped fund the development of a psychophysiology research laboratory to study SPD. The mission of STAR Institute (the STAR Center Foundation) is: To impact quality of life by developing and promoting best practices for sensory health and wellness through treatment, education, and research. For many years a primary focus of the foundation was to get sensory processing disorder added to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.Sensory Processing Disorder was defined as "a complex disorder of the brain that affects developing children and adults". Currently Sensory Processing Disorder or SPD is defined as "differences in sensory integration and processing that prevent function and participation in day-to-day life". SPD remains poorly recognized. (en)
