BEST - Foundations

B.E.S.T. (Better Emotional and Social Times)

Building social skills, emotional confidence, and healthy friendships.

For over 20 years, B.E.S.T. has helped children with learning disabilities (LD) and ADHD develop skills for success at school, at home, and with friends.

Through small-group activities, games, role-play, and guided practice, children learn to understand social cues, manage emotions, solve problems, and build positive relationships.

Three connected programs:

• Foundations: Social communication and problem-solving
  
• Dealing with Emotions: Understanding and managing feelings
  
• Friendships: Building relationships and handling peer challenges
  

Children begin with Foundations and progress through the other programs as their skills and confidence grow.
