About Us

 

Best Life ABA is a family-owned and locally run ABA and social skills provider in San Diego, CA. As parents ourselves, we know that everyone wants their children to be able to live their best lives, develop meaningful friendships, and feel happy and fulfilled.

Best Life uses evidence-based ABA techniques to teach social skill, communication, and behavior management so that your child can be part of your community, make friends, and live a healthy and productive life. We specialize in the Verbal Behavior approach and we strive to create programs that center on your child’s motivation.

At Best Life ABA in San Diego, we are trained in UCLA PEERS® social skills training, one of the only evidence-based social skills programs. In our ongoing Social Club for children and adolescents, we utilize the Social Thinking approach created by Michelle Garcia Winner, a renowned social-cognitive therapist. At its core, the Social Thinking approach aims to teach social skills and social emotional regulation with a fun and motivating approach.

We’re Better Together.
