Shoe-horning kids into one model

Board certified behavior analyst (bcba)

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits were competitive.

Cons

Terrible training unless it was specific to ESDM. They want to sell a model so they assess and onboard much older kids into service than the ESDM is appropriate for and you are discouraged for using certain behavior analytic tools appropriate for teaching school readiness.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate the contributions you made to our clients and team during your time at Soar. We understand your concerns regarding BCBA training and clinical flexibility. The Early Start Denver Model is central to our approach and is backed by strong research for working with young children. At the same time, we know that clinical judgment and broader behavior-analytic tools are important, especially as the needs of children vary. We also recognize that high-quality training across operational areas, including documentation and case management, is essential for BCBAs to feel confident and effective in their roles. Your feedback is helpful as we continue to invest in clearer training structures, stronger supervisory support, and more responsive tools for clinicians. We will share this with our clinical and training teams to inform our ongoing improvement efforts. Thank you again for sharing your experience.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

great on the floor team + good communication among rbts, very supportive environment as a technician. thats about it though. easy to burn out and schedules can be very inflexible. care teams are made without knowledge of clients and who they work best with. the kids can be so sweet! theyre worth it.

Cons

hostile supervisors, lots of hoops to jump through for advancement (pay and position), sick time is often hard to excuse (with doctors notes), trial data is tracked and can count against you even when out of your control

Pros

The kids are terrific! Supportive RBT's who put they're best foot forward each day (most of the time).

Cons

The company provides inadequate training on the ESDM, it often doesn't feel like actual ABA is provided. The culture is toxic, leadership blames this on the clinicians and RBT's but in reality is from lack of support and negative comments from leadership. Impossible workload and expectations given to clinicians and RBT's alike. Poor compensation. Questionable ethical decisions from leadership.
