Lead each child's communication goals, with the care team behind you
As an SLP at Soar, you lead the development of each child’s communication goals, and the whole team helps carry them out. You’ll grow your expertise in pediatric care, AAC, and interdisciplinary treatment, working alongside BCBAs, OTs, and RBTs on the same clinic floor.

Collaborator
Conduct multidisciplinary assessments and coordinate treatment plans with OTs, BCBAs, and other clinicians. RBTs usually attend SLP sessions to help reinforce communication goals in other sessions throughout the child’s day.
Family coach
Partner with families to develop meaningful goals and practical strategies they can use outside of therapy, so communication practice continues at home.

Learn moreA week in the life of an SLP at Soar
Every week mixes therapy sessions, assessment and planning, and collaboration with the rest of the clinical team.
Assess and plan
Run multidisciplinary assessments and set communication goals with the rest of the team. Each plan integrates communication goals into Soar’s ESDM-informed approach.
Therapy that fits each child
Deliver developmentally appropriate speech therapy in naturalistic, engaging sessions. Monitor progress and adapt each plan based on data, clinical judgment, and each child’s evolving needs.
Same floor as the team
Work alongside BCBAs, OTs, and RBTs on the same clinic floor. Because the team works with the same children, it’s easier to keep goals aligned across disciplines.
Family coaching
Share progress with families and coach them on practical strategies they can use at home, between sessions.
Why working at Soar is different
Founded by a medical family. Designed by clinical experts. Built for sustainable, high-quality care.
Train and grow in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)
Most clinicians already incorporate play into sessions. But there is a material difference between using play as a reward for completing rigid tasks, and using an NDBI framework where the play is the teaching structure. At Soar, our model is built entirely around the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM). Instead of forcing compliance through repetitive table-work, our clinicians use child-led play routines to naturally embed learning opportunities.
- No ESDM experience? We provide the training as you grow.
- Clinicians can pursue ESDM certification, sponsored by Soar, as they progress through our career steps.
True integrated care (no more clinical silos)
In many healthcare settings, speech, occupational, and behavioral therapies exist in entirely separate silos. At Soar, SLPs, OTs, and BCBAs share the same clinic floor. Because the whole team practices within the play-based ESDM framework, it’s easier to line up your goals with the rest of the team’s, and you have the collective expertise of a multidisciplinary team without having to be an expert in everything.
- RBTs work alongside you, so clinical goals are reinforced throughout each child’s day.
Clinical support and mentorship
We hold our clinical team to high expectations, and you aren’t left to figure it out alone. We provide clear decision trees, structured mentorship, and an invested leadership team to guide you through your learning curves.
- Continuing education, speech therapy training, and career growth opportunities.
- Grow your expertise in pediatric care, AAC, and interdisciplinary treatment.
A career focused on young children
We focus on young children. Your caseload stays in that age group instead of stretching from toddlers to teens in the same week, so you can specialize in early childhood care.
From our team
In previous roles, we couldn’t overlap with SLPs or OTs unless you did it on your own unpaid time, which led to conflicting goals and behavior approaches. At Soar, being on the same clinic floor changes everything. Having everyone under one roof lets us align all clinical goals seamlessly.
Clinical Trainer
It’s really exciting to have one common language within the ESDM framework that everybody [SLPs, OTs, and BCBAs] is unifying together and working together towards one common goal to help our kids make the best possible progress.
Taylor Diemer, M.S., CCC-SLP, Head of Speech Therapy Services

Questions candidates ask
Do you hire SLP Clinical Fellows?
Yes. Our SLP Clinical Fellows work under the mentorship of experienced SLPs. Check the openings above for current Clinical Fellow roles.
Do I need AAC experience?
No. AAC experience is a plus, but not required.
Can I be considered for all centers when I apply?
Yes. For our RBT, BCBA, OT, and SLP positions, you can be considered for all local centers in your area with one application. You are not required to submit multiple applications.
Do I need a certification ahead of time to apply?
You do not need a license or certification for our RBT position. However, for all clinical roles (i.e., BCBA, OT, and SLP) you are required to have a license or certification that allows you to practice within the state of the center you applied to.
How do your career progressions work if I already have directly-related experience in the field?
To allow new employees to acclimate to the ESDM care model, we start all new employees out on the same level. However, experienced new hires have the ability to accelerate their progression timeline.
Can I still apply if I’m interested in a future location?
Yes! You can still apply if you’re interested in a location that hasn’t opened yet. Typically, we have employees join an existing center then transfer to the new center once it is up and running.
I have experience from another ABA center, but I don’t have experience in ESDM. Can I still apply?
Absolutely! Several of our team members joined without direct experience in ESDM. Soar ensures that all interested team members have access to ESDM training throughout their career progression.
