Autism Psychologist - Denver, CO

Soar Health Clinical Psychologist

Autism Clinic

Soar Health is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their

families receive life-shaping services that support them to thrive. We provide naturalistic ABA

therapy and coordination with other providers (speech, OT) to children ages 18 months to 6

years old who have been diagnosed with ASD or other developmental disabilities. We also

provide diagnostic services to support the full integration of care. We craft individual therapy

plans in deep coordination with families, setting goals that are ambitious and focusing on

building skills that enable children to grow into their fullest selves.

We provide care in a state of the art, autistic-friendly facility, with the goal that a child’s time at

the center mirrors an early childhood learning experience. We prioritize early intervention,

comprehensive supportive services, and positive, developmentally-appropriate learning that

meets the needs of each unique child and family.

Our first clinic will open in the Denver metro area in spring of 2021. Join us as we strive to

advance the standard of care in autism therapy today.

What makes us unique

We believe that healthy lives are built on a foundation of belonging, self-determination, and

community. We aim to set an early foundation for children and families that will allow them to

appreciate their strengths as children with autism and give them the skills needed to thrive in the

world.

We seek to be leaders in naturalistic autism therapy and to drive advances in care delivery for

the autism community (e.g. interdisciplinary care, appropriate case loads, transparency on

clinical outcomes).

We want the same things for our staff too. We believe that each of our staff bring unique

strengths and abilities, and we seek to cultivate those strengths each day. We also offer

opportunities for meaningful training and learning, career advancement, and clinical

co-ownership beyond what is available for providers today.

Our two co-founders bring deep experience in healthcare, education, business strategy, and

human-centered design, and have a track record of creating special places for teams while

driving toward meaningful impact and change.

We offer a full benefits package to full-time employees including health, dental, and vision

insurance, retirement savings, and extensive professional learning opportunities. Compensation

will be competitive based on applicant experience.

Responsibilities

This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground floor and help establish the culture and

clinical delivery models for our network of clinics. The role is well-suited to an experienced child

psychologist who 1) is looking to be on an interdisciplinary team focused on supporting clients

with autism and 2) who wants to advance the status quo of autism diagnosis and therapy in

clinics today to drive differentiated clinical care for families.

We are flexible on the number of hours per week and would consider both part-time and

full-time models based on the applicants background and goals. Specific responsibilities would

include:

● Conduct diagnostic evaluations for autism and related conditions for current and

potential future clients

● Make recommendations on therapy services and interventions to caregivers and families

● Work in coordination with interdisciplinary clinical team to develop treatment and therapy

plans for clients

● Provide training for others at and beyond Soar Health (e.g. pediatricians, referring

providers, early childhood providers) on diagnostic options for children with autism

● Depending on candidate, additional responsibilities may include:

○ Provide counseling/therapy services to clients and families based on needs

○ Build connections to help recruit new families to our clinic

○ Co-design alongside founding team, parents, and young adults with autism a

clinical model that pushes on what is possible and delivers differentiated care

and results for children and families

○ Create all clinical protocols and plans for excellent diagnostic services

Additional details

Qualifications

● Doctorate degree in clinical psychology or a related field

● License to practice psychology in the State of Colorado

● 3+ years of practice as a child psychologist, with at least 1 year of direct experience

working with young children with autism

● Education and direct clinical experience with evaluation and diagnosis of autism

spectrum disorder

● Experience with conducting diagnostic assessments for autism spectrum disorder,

especially for children ages 18 months to 6 years (e.g. CARS-2, ASRS, ADOS-2,

ADI-R), with preference for the ADOS-2

● Understanding of effective treatment methods for ASD (e.g. speech therapy,

occupational therapy, applied behavior analysis)

● Background and experience in child development, developmental psychology, and/or

early intervention

● Awareness and appreciation of the benefits of play-based, naturalistic therapy in autism

(e.g. ESDM, pivotal response treatment)

● Some familiarity with human-centered design, or open-mindedness to the approaches of

human-centered design

● Live in (or be willing to relocate to) Denver, CO metro area

What will make you great:

● A desire to work collaboratively on an interdisciplinary team

● A willingness to challenge assumptions and develop new clinical models

● An entrepreneurial spirit and way of operating - an ability to move fast, fail forward, and

learn rapidly

● A deep belief in the potential and beauty of all children with autism

● Strong written and verbal communication skills and an ability to adjust that

communication based on audience and need

● A hunger for learning and improvement - a track record of constant growth and a desire

to seek out feedback to improve
