Empowering children, supporting families

We’re here for your child and your family. Our dedicated team is on a mission to transform autism care for young children.
COMPANY HISTORY

From our family to yours

Soar was founded by a husband and wife team in Denver, Colorado in 2021. Coming from backgrounds in public education and medicine, they saw and heard from many providers and families the need for better, developmentally-appropriate autism care for young kids. 

As young parents themselves, they empathized deeply with the need to build something better and took on the challenge to bring that to life. Since founding Soar, their oldest child was also diagnosed with autism, bringing the importance of the mission of the work to life even more.

Soar cares deeply about providing services to the community in each location we serve. We focus on both high-quality care and ensuring many families can access our services. We grow deep footprints in each of our locations as a way to ensure there is a clinic nearby.
