At Soar, we bring every essential service under one roof so your family can breathe easier - because when BCBAs, speech therapists, and occupational therapists work toward the exact same shared goals, it maximizes your child's progress and simplifies your life.

ESDM-based ABA Therapy

The Early Start Denver Model is an evidence-backed approach delivered entirely through play, natural interactions, and fun – designed specifically for children under 6.

One integrated care team

Your child’s care is guided by BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs working in tandem alongside our specialized in-house medical team to ensure a fully coordinated approach.

Measurable, life-changing skills

Our goal is meaningful skill gains—not therapy for life. On average, children at Soar achieve a +8 point Vineland-3 improvement over 2 years and gain +60 skills on the ESDM Curriculum Checklist every 6 months.

What to expect

Navigating the unknown can be overwhelming. We're here to help.

Knowing where to start with autism care is tricky, and it's completely normal to have questions about the path ahead. We've designed our process to give your family clarity, guidance, and support at every step.

1. Diagnostic Evaluation
   If your child needs a formal diagnosis, we can help you avoid the months-long waitlists found elsewhere. Our streamlined process starts with a virtual intake to learn your child's history, followed by an in-person, play-based testing session at one of our centers, and wraps up with a dedicated results call to walk you through our findings.

2. Therapy Intake Call
   If you already have a diagnosis, we'll jump right in with a dedicated intake phone call. This is your opportunity to connect 1:1 with a care coordinator to get answers to all your questions about our therapy approach, logistics, and scheduling.

3. Tour Your Local Center
   We want you to feel entirely comfortable with where your child will be learning. If you'd like, we will schedule a personal tour of a center near you so you can explore our play-based spaces and meet the clinical team in person.

4. Full-Team Assessment
   Before therapy begins, your child will complete a comprehensive assessment with our full team of specialties present. By having our BCBAs, speech therapists (SLPs), and occupational therapists (OTs) evaluate together, we build a completely integrated care plan tailored to your child's unique potential.

5. Continuous Care & Open Doors
   Once therapy starts, you are part of the team. We maintain a strict open-door policy so you can visit sessions, and we provide regular family check-ins and treatment guidance to ensure your child's progress continues at home.
