ABA Therapy in Margate
Margate is a city in northwestern Broward County, situated between Coconut Creek to the north, Tamarac to the south, and Coral Springs to the west. Originally developed in the 1960s as a planned residential community, Margate has grown into a diverse, family-oriented city with well-maintained neighborhoods, strong community parks including Margate City Park and Veterans Community Park, and convenient access to the Turnpike and I-95. Margate is known for its welcoming community character and has become increasingly diverse over recent decades. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Margate and northwestern Broward County.
Margate has a diverse and growing bilingual community. The city has a significant Hispanic population — particularly Colombian, Venezuelan, and Cuban-American families — alongside Jamaican-American, Haitian-American, and other Caribbean communities. Our clinical team delivers all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that bilingual families receive complete clinical care in their preferred language throughout every stage of the program.
Margate is served by Broward County Public Schools and is home to Coconut Creek High School, which serves students from both Margate and Coconut Creek, and several elementary and middle schools with Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs throughout the city. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside Margate area schools, attending IEP meetings, coordinating with ESE staff and classroom teachers, and delivering direct behavioral therapy support during the school day.
We serve families across all Margate neighborhoods including Oriole Gardens, Windmill Lakes, Holiday Springs, Ramblewood, Palm Aire, and communities along Sample Road, Atlantic Boulevard, and State Road 7. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family.
