ABA Therapy in Miami Gardens
Miami Gardens is the largest predominantly African-American city in Florida and one of the most culturally significant communities in Miami-Dade County. Located in northwestern Miami-Dade, the city is home to Hard Rock Stadium — where the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami Hurricanes play — and to Florida Memorial University. Miami Gardens has a strong working-class residential character and a close-knit community that includes large Haitian-American, Caribbean, and African-American families. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Miami Gardens with respect for the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Miami Gardens has a notably diverse community with significant Haitian-American, Caribbean, African-American, and Hispanic populations. Many families in the city speak Haitian Creole, Spanish, or Caribbean English as primary languages at home. Our clinical team provides all ABA therapy services in English and Spanish, and we approach every family with genuine cultural sensitivity. We are committed to ensuring that language and cultural background are never barriers to quality ABA therapy for any Miami Gardens family.
Miami Gardens is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and is home to Miami Carol City Senior High School, Norland Senior High School, and several K–8 schools with Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside Miami Gardens 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 Miami Gardens neighborhoods including Scott Lake, Bunche Park, Lake Lucerne, Andover, the Hard Rock Stadium area, and communities along NW 27th Avenue and NW 183rd Street. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family.
