ABA Therapy in Key West
Key West is the southernmost city in the continental United States, situated at the tip of the Florida Keys archipelago approximately 130 miles southwest of Miami. Known for Duval Street, Mallory Square, the Ernest Hemingway Home, and its vibrant arts and culture scene, Key West is far more than a tourist destination — it is a real community with year-round residents, families, schools, and a strong local identity. Key West families seeking ABA therapy face unique challenges: geographic isolation, limited local provider options, and long distances to mainland services. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services serves Key West families primarily through telehealth ABA therapy and in-home services, delivering the same BCBA-supervised clinical quality available throughout Southeast Florida.
Key West has a diverse community with significant Cuban-American, Caribbean, and Latin American populations. The city’s historic connection to Cuba — Key West is closer to Havana than to Miami — has shaped its culture and community for generations. Our clinical team delivers all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish. For Key West families, telehealth makes it possible to access bilingual BCBA services and parent training without traveling to the mainland.
Key West is served by the Monroe County School District and is home to Key West High School, which has an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) program. The Monroe County School District serves the entire Keys from Key West to Key Largo. Our school-based ABA therapy team coordinates with Key West area schools to support students with autism, attending IEP meetings and working with ESE staff to deliver behavioral support during the school day. Telehealth BCBA consultations and parent training are available immediately for Key West families without the need to travel.
We serve families throughout Key West including Old Town, New Town, Midtown, Stock Island, and all Key West neighborhoods. Telehealth ABA therapy and parent training are available immediately. In-home therapy is available throughout Key West with our Monroe County clinical team. No travel to the mainland is required for initial consultations or ongoing parent training.
