This award highlights more than success — it celebrates a mission-driven movement that combines compassion, structure, and sustainability. SOS is proving that a franchise can grow fast while staying true to its purpose.
Being recognized as one of the Best of the Best in Franchising 2025 reinforces what franchisees, families, and communities already know — the SOS model works.
This milestone matters because it:
Confirms credibility. Industry experts recognize SOS as a trusted brand with proven results.
Builds confidence. Franchisees and investors see this award as evidence of lasting stability and strong leadership.
Drives momentum. Awards like this motivate the SOS network to keep growing and improving.
Validates the mission. It proves that compassion and profitability can coexist and thrive together.
Simply put, this recognition affirms that Success On The Spectrum is leading with integrity — and winning because of it.
This award didn’t happen by chance. It came from years of consistent effort, smart systems, and heart-led leadership.
First, SOS built trust with families through transparency. Parents can watch live therapy sessions in Parent Viewing Rooms, creating accountability and confidence.
Next, SOS established a standardized, high-quality training program for every franchise location. Each clinic receives continuous operational and clinical support, along with twice-yearly quality audits.
Then, the company expanded its services. Beyond ABA therapy, SOS now offers speech, occupational, and social skills programs — all designed to help children thrive.
Finally, Nichole Daher’s leadership set a tone of compassion and excellence. She combined personal experience as an autism mom with strategic franchise growth, creating a business model that benefits both families and franchise owners.
Because of these efforts, SOS earned its reputation as one of the most mission-driven and well-run franchises in the country.
For franchise owners, this award confirms they’ve joined a winning team. It reassures them that SOS’s systems are effective, profitable, and recognized by the wider business community.
For families, the honor brings added peace of mind. They know they’re choosing therapy centers that follow strict quality standards — not just in care, but in how the entire organization operates.
Ultimately, when SOS was awarded Best of the Best in Franchising 2025, it wasn’t just a business win. It was a win for every child, parent, and therapist connected to the SOS mission.
This recognition is not the finish line — it’s a launchpad. Moving forward, Success On The Spectrum plans to:
Expand into underserved regions across the U.S.
Continue improving franchise training and oversight.
Innovate in clinical care and technology.
Strengthen partnerships with local communities and universities.
“This award reflects our dedication to quality and compassion,” says Nichole Daher. “We’re proud of our growth, but even more proud of the difference we make in families’ lives.”
By blending business excellence with heart, SOS Franchising continues to prove that purpose-driven entrepreneurship can lead an entire industry forward.
Nichole Daher is an American entrepreneur, book author, autism advocate, and founder of Success On The Spectrum (SOS)-the first autism treatment franchise in the United States-known for its parent viewing rooms and quality-driven ABA services. She currently serves as CEO of SOS Franchising, where she provides support, resources, and opportunities for entrepreneurs to open their own Success On The Spectrum autism centers.
