Problem
Many families face challenges in accessing timely and effective autism care for their young children, leading to delays in diagnosis and intervention. Coordinating multiple specialists and navigating various therapy options can be overwhelming for parents and caregivers.
Solution
Soar Autism Center operates a network of clinics providing integrated therapy and diagnostic services for children with autism aged 18 months to 5 years. The center utilizes the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), a play-based therapy that combines Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles with developmental approaches. A multidisciplinary team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Registered Behavior Therapists (RBTs), speech-language pathologists (SLPs), occupational therapists (OTs), and mental health therapists collaborate to deliver personalized care plans. Soar's approach focuses on building foundational life skills through engaging activities, enhancing communication, and addressing sensory and motor needs, all while involving families in the therapy process.
