We provide naturalistic ABA therapy (ESDM), speech therapy, occupational therapy, and mental health services to children with autism. We also provide diagnostic services to help families quickly access integrated, collaborative care. This also enables us to provide continuity of care not just during the transition to therapy, but also while a child and their family are receiving therapy at Soar. Soar clinicians develop individualized therapy plans in coordination with families. The team sets ambitious goals that focus on building skills that enable children to grow into their fullest selves. We prioritize early intervention, comprehensive supportive services, and positive, developmentally-appropriate learning.

Location

Our diagnostic services utilize a blended model of care, incorporating both telehealth and in-person components. This model provides our psychologists with considerable flexibility regarding their primary work location within either the Denver or Phoenix regions.

  • As needed, participate in continuity of care for children evaluated that then receive treatment at Soar
