Behavioral & Educational Strategies & Training - Modesto, California

I can’t explain how blessed my family and my son Nolan are to have met everyone at BEST! To just be part of BEST and having my child here for nearly 4 years was great! Nolan accomplished many goals with the help of all his BTS, Vanidi and of course his supervisor Megan who is Such a bright young lady willing to go above and beyond for Nolan and any of the kids receiving services at BEST. After nearly 4 years my son got placed at a school with an IEP and we officially said goodbye to BEST but I will never forget all the wonderful memories, support , laughs and awesome times we had seeing my son accomplish all his goals! I’m sure my son is going to miss this place sooooo much ! Thank you BEST SOOO MUCH FOR BEING THERE FOR MY LITTLE NOLAN! Love you all!

If I could give B.E.S.T 100 stars I would!
This center has made a huge impact on my son Miguel. When he started a few months back he was non verbal and extremely attached to me. Today, he can communicate, comprehend, and most importantly follow instructions. If someone told me a few months back that he would able to sit down in a classroom without hesitation, I would’ve never believed that. As a family, we are appreciative to his hard working team. His supervisors Vinidi & Megan are AMAZING. Megan has been there even when she’s not on the clock and has made me feel comfortable to speak of my concerns and has always been through this rollercoaster with us. Matt and Alexa, you guys have been great with Miguel, we can’t thank you enough for all your hard work as well as his other BTs. I wasn’t ready for this journey but they had made it a breeze and I’m a couple months Miguel will be starting elementary school. Thank you once again!!

Our son made so much progress within a matter of weeks. He loved all BTs. His BCBA and his CAs. Stephanie was such a big help and was able to get our son services immediately! The staff knows how to communicate effectively! 🙂 Our sons goals were always being updated as he progressed:)

I absolutely loved this place! Our son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 years old and BEST was with us every step of the way! With their help we were able to better our son's future. They gave me the tools, support, and guidance to help our family understand and communicate with our son and others like him. They sat with us through every IEP, and meetings with new teachers and even outings! I can't even being to tell you how amazing all of his 1 to 1s were. I am forever greatfull to everyone that was on our son's team! Sadly
after 10 years we did have to say goodbye as we moved out of state.

Highly recommend. I tell everyone about BEST because they really are THE. BEST. and will always hold a special place in my heart!

Both of my children went to BEST at age 3. They both excelled through their individual programs that targeted their own areas to reduce behaviors/responses that tend to slow down development both academically and socially. BEST provided us personally with training so that we as parents could work with our children at home and out in the community. Both of our children had multiple tutors and a solid professional supervisor teams that worked with us to achieve an optimal outcome for our children. Today my daughter is now 16 and my son is 13 years old and nobody would even suspect that they are on the spectrum. Both of my children are straight A students. My daughter is in an IB program and excelling, she plays sports, she is in several clubs and she does community service work. She wants to become a Doctor someday. My son will be entering the IB program next year. His reading level is well beyond the 12 grade and his math level is at 10.5 grade level and he is currently in the 8th grade. He loves reading, writing and art of all types. He currently wants to become a script writer for movies, a director and or a video game designer. I can’t say enough about the importance of early intervention and BEST is an excellent organization that provides the support, strategies, education and goals to help kids overcome the obstacles associated with the Autism Spectrum that can impede learning and coping.

I was just hired, and this is an amazing program for children. I have worked in a wide variety of places from daycare, public schools, and a day program with adults. This is definitely the place you wanted your kiddos to go to, if they need assistance with behavioral issues. The kindness that I witnessed today was TOUCHING to say the least! I absolutely LOVE the way this program is ran. ❤

This is the BEST place. As a parent I never worry about my child’s safety. They communicate and offer so much information, training and assistance. They make you feel as if they actually care. They do amazing things. They made an Autism diagnosis and journey a lot better for us and my child thrived and achieved so much there. ❤️

My son has made tremendous progress since starting here since November of last year. My wife and I commute him from Manteca to Modesto everyday to ensure that he gets the proper education he deserves, and he gets it here! Very friendly staff that goes the extra mile. We are extremely grateful for their services!
