ABA Therapy in Lake Worth
Lake Worth Beach — officially incorporated as Lake Worth Beach since 2019 but widely known simply as Lake Worth — is a small, vibrant city in central Palm Beach County on the Intracoastal Waterway. One of the most culturally diverse and artistically lively communities in South Florida, Lake Worth is known for its eclectic downtown Arts District on Lake Avenue, the Lake Worth Beach Casino complex, and a close-knit community that embraces its diversity. The city borders West Palm Beach to the north, Lantana to the south, and Boynton Beach to the southeast. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Lake Worth and central Palm Beach County.
Lake Worth is one of the most bilingual cities in Palm Beach County. The city has a large and established Guatemalan community — one of the most significant in South Florida — alongside Mexican, Honduran, Colombian, and other Latin American families. Lake Worth also has significant Haitian-American and Caribbean communities. Our clinical team delivers all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish. We approach every Lake Worth family with genuine cultural sensitivity, ensuring language is never a barrier to quality ABA therapy for any family in this community.
Lake Worth is served by the Palm Beach County School District and is home to Lake Worth Community High School, which has an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) program. The city also has several elementary and middle schools throughout its neighborhoods. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside Lake Worth 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 Lake Worth neighborhoods including the historic downtown Arts District, Parrot Cove, College Park, Tropical Ridge, Sims Park area, and communities along Lake Worth Road, Dixie Highway, and 6th Avenue South. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family.
