ABA Therapy in Homestead
Homestead is a city in the southern tip of Miami-Dade County, approximately 35 miles south of downtown Miami. It sits at the gateway to Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park, and is home to Homestead Air Reserve Base. Homestead has grown significantly as a residential community in recent years, with many families settling in the area in search of more space and affordability compared to northern Miami-Dade. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Homestead and the southern Miami-Dade region.
Homestead has a large and diverse Hispanic and Latino community, with significant populations of Mexican, Central American, Cuban, and Caribbean families. Spanish is widely spoken as a primary language throughout the community. Our clinical team provides all services — ABA therapy sessions, parent training, BCBA consultations, and all administrative communication — in both English and Spanish. Full bilingual clinical care from your very first contact.
Homestead is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, including Homestead Senior High School and several elementary and middle schools with established Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside Homestead area schools, attending IEP meetings, coordinating with ESE staff and classroom teachers, and delivering direct behavioral support during the school day. Families in Homestead and the surrounding Princeton and Naranja communities are within our school-based service area.
We serve families across Homestead and surrounding communities including Princeton, Naranja, the Redland agricultural area, and Florida City. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family, no matter where in southern Miami-Dade you are located.
