Helping Children Thrive
One Step at a Time
At Best for Autism, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to grow, communicate, and live as independently as possible.
Our mission is simple: provide high-quality, individualized ABA therapy that meets each child where they are and helps them move forward with confidence.
We work closely with families to create supportive, structured programs that build real-world skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

Our Programs
We offer personalized ABA therapy programs designed to meet your child’s unique needs.
Comprehensive ABA
Intensive, individualized therapy targeting multiple developmental domains for infants, children, and adolescents. Designed to build foundational skills, enhance communication, and reduce challenging behaviors.
Focused ABA
Targeted intervention focusing specifically on one or two distinct behaviors. We help individuals improve conversation skills, master independent living routines, and navigate specific behavioral challenges safely.
Mock Preschool & School Readiness
A unique, year-round practice environment where children learn vital classroom routines and social skills alongside neurotypical community peers, preparing them for kindergarten and beyond.
Parent & Caregiver Training
Empowering families through monthly workshops and hands-on clinical collaboration. We ensure that the skills a child learns in therapy are successfully transferred to the home environment through Phase 3 Generalization.
Clinical Consultation
Brief and ongoing professional consultation services focused on program design, data collection systems, and individualized behavior support strategies, led by Master's level supervisors and BCBAs.

Patient Success Stories
The true measure of our clinical success is found in the everyday lives of the families we serve.
“[Our child] is able to listen and work on tasks for 25 minutes or more. His eye contact is 100% better. He is able to understand English and Spanish. He has also started talking. He responds to his name, and has better behavior throughout the day.”
“This was the BEST program for my child”
“Thank you for making such a difference in our lives.”
“Totally awesome people and highly recommended by my family to everyone...I cannot say enough [about] how everyone helped [my child] and myself, as well as my family...with how to work with his autism.”
“[Our child] learned so many new things while working with BEST. He went from nonverbal to gaining a huge vocabulary...can now repeat almost any word asked of him and uses most of his words spontaneously. [Our child] plays with us now and communicates. We are so pleased with his progress.”
“When [our child] joined the BEST program, at the age of two, he barely, demonstrated the social skills, sentence structure, and overall confidence he now has. BEST has brought him completely out of his shell in all aspects of his life in just one year of tutoring...[the staff] was nothing short of amazing in their knowledge, patience, and most of all, caring and loving of [our child]. I would recommend any parents to this program.”
“The week before my child's IEP there was an assessment of his abilities. I was so elated to report that he could do many, many things that he could not do even two months prior. I know that a lot of his new found abilities are directly related to the BEST intervention...[my child] will now attend a regular curriculum preschool...Thank you for helping him.”
“Our family is changing positively every day. Thanks”
“We are grateful [with this program] because it made a tremendous difference to our child's life. She changed a lot...from a child that hardly talks, to a very communicative child. Now, our child has more words to express what she wants and it made our daily tasking easier. Thanks for all the help.”
“I would recommend any parents to this program”
“My child is now using multiple words together and had no words when he began with BEST. He asks for what he wants, plays independently, pretend plays, [and] is no longer frustrated at his inability to communicate, and shares his interests and joy with us...”
“Everyone was very nice and respectful to my family”
