Live Unapologetically.
Live Connected.
Individualized behavioral and adaptive skills services designed around real life. Supporting independence, connection, and meaningful participation across Los Angeles.
Our Philosophy
Support built around life, not the other way around.
The best learning happens where life does. In neighborhoods, coffee shops, and community spaces across Los Angeles, Life Lab brings individualized, expert-led support into the environments where practical skills and real confidence are built.
Founded by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts who believe that independence, social connection, and practical skills are best developed through real experiences, not simulated ones.

Built by people who do the work.
Life Lab was founded by Justin Katona, M.S., BCBA and Max Blum, M.S., BCBA, two clinicians who set out to build support that truly centers the people it serves.
Together, they've built an organization grounded in individualized care, authentic environments, and the belief that every person deserves support that respects their goals, their pace, and their life.
