ABA Therapy in Islamorada
Islamorada is a village in the Upper Florida Keys, spanning six islands in Monroe County from Plantation Key in the north to Lower Matecumbe Key in the south. Known as the “Sport Fishing Capital of the World,” Islamorada is celebrated for its world-class offshore and backcountry fishing, stunning natural beauty, and laid-back Keys lifestyle. The village sits between Key Largo to the north and Marathon to the south along US-1, the Overseas Highway, and has a permanent residential population that includes fishing and diving families, hospitality workers, and a growing number of full-time residents drawn by the Keys’ unique quality of life. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides ABA therapy to families throughout Islamorada and the Upper Keys, with telehealth delivery as the primary service option and in-home services available from our nearby Key Largo office.
Islamorada has a diverse community that reflects the broader Upper Keys population. The village has a significant Hispanic population — particularly Cuban, Colombian, and Mexican families — alongside Haitian-American residents and a multi-generational Anglo-American Keys community with deep ties to the fishing and marine industries. Our clinical team delivers all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish. Being based in nearby Key Largo, we are familiar with and sensitive to the cultural character of Islamorada and the Upper Keys community.
Islamorada is served by the Monroe County School District. Students in Islamorada primarily attend Coral Shores High School in Tavernier and Plantation Key School, a K–8 campus on Plantation Key. Both have Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs. Our school-based ABA therapy team is familiar with these schools through our work throughout the Upper Keys, and can attend IEP meetings, coordinate with ESE staff, and support families navigating the Monroe County School District.
We serve families throughout Islamorada’s six islands including Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, and the Tea Table and Indian Key areas along the Overseas Highway. Telehealth services are available immediately for all Islamorada families. In-home services are available from our Key Largo office, just north on US-1.
