Soar’s approach to autism therapy is based on the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) a unique, play-based approach that evidence shows to be the most effective and compassionate model for young children with autism.

ESDM is the leading, evidence-based therapy for children aged 1 to 5 that combines applied behavior analysis (ABA), developmental science, and relationship-based approaches. The ESDM model is shown in high-quality research studies to improve language skills, cognition, social skills, adaptive skills and behavior in children with autism.
