SOAR Employment Readiness Services (SOAR-ERS)

Declaration of Consent Form
SOAR is partnering with I Can Therapy, LLC to have workshops once a month to answer the question “will my child ever be able to provide for themselves?” I Can Therapy is an outpatient occupational therapy clinic, assisting adults and teens to reach their employment and independent living goals. SOAR believes that these workshops & this partnership is the first step in launching the branch of SOAR-ERS (Employment Readiness Services). 
 
The workshops will be 60 minutes and every participant will leave with individualized recommendations based on the evening. Workshops will meet in two locations: the 3rd Tuesday night of each month at the SOAR office located at 12201 W 88th Street, Lenexa, KS 66215 & the 4th Monday night of each month at The Golden Scoop at 9540 Nall Avenue Overland Park, KS 66207.
 

There is a cap of the number of participants in each workshop that is dependent on the topic. However, no more than 10 participants will be allowed at any time. We accept cash, credit/debit card and check. In the instance of an emergency of sickness, there are no refunds BUT you are able to use your credits another time.

The cost is $15 per participant (or see below for packages). As workshops are new to I Can Therapy, we are providing a locked-in price to the first 20 participants to sign up. As a founding member, you will receive a good discount on services. Our prices are listed below.

Single class $15

3 classes for $36 ($12 a class)

5 classes for $50 ($10 a class)

10 classes for $85 ($8.50 a class)
