NorthStar Day Program is the Southeast’s first pediatric, multidisciplinary day treatment program for neurodivergent children. Based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, it serves children ages 5–12 with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma, including children who live with more than one of these at once.

Individual, group, and family therapy, psychiatric care, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, pediatric nutrition, expressive arts, case management, and educational support all happen under one roof, delivered by one team working from one care plan. The care is built on a relational and developmental model: the work starts with connection and regulation, and skills are built from there. Every family takes part in family therapy each week.

NorthStar Day offers two levels of care, Day Treatment and Intensive Outpatient. It was co-founded by Dr. Brandi Rials and Dr. Kelly Everson. NorthStar Day is a program of NorthStar Behavioral Health.

Color and type

Brand colors and typefaces.

The CMYK values are builds for GRACoL 2006 coated stock. Use them rather than a converter's numbers: an automatic conversion prints the navy noticeably too light. On uncoated paper the navy can't be matched exactly.
