About SOAR Plus! Trainings

Parkwyn Training & Consulting (PTC) offers a new approach to SOAR training. Through a streamlined Six Phaseprocess, trainees will gain a deep understanding of the SOAR model of SSI/SSDI application assistance in an accessible and engaging format.

These instructor-led, interactive trainings take attendees step‑by‑step through the process of completing and submitting SOAR-assisted SSI/SSDI applications. Hands‑on activities, group discussions, and dedicated time for Q&As reinforce key concepts.

Follow-up connection and support bridge the gap between training and implementation, empowering providers to complete SOAR-assisted applications and navigate challenges with confidence.
