ABA Therapy in Miami Lakes
Miami Lakes is a master-planned town in northwestern Miami-Dade County, originally developed by the Graham family — the same family that produced Florida Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham. Built around a series of interconnected lakes, the town was one of the first planned communities in South Florida and remains known for its well-maintained neighborhoods, walkable Main Street town center, and strong family-oriented character. Miami Lakes borders Hialeah to the south, Doral to the west, and Miramar across the Broward County line to the north. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout Miami Lakes and the surrounding northwestern Miami-Dade area.
Miami Lakes has a large and well-established bilingual community. The town has a significant Cuban-American population alongside Colombian, Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, and other Latin American families. Spanish is widely spoken as a primary language throughout Miami Lakes. Our clinical team provides all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish — therapy sessions, parent training, BCBA consultations, and all administrative communication. Full bilingual clinical care from your very first call.
Miami Lakes is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and is home to Miami Lakes Educational Center (MLEC), a highly regarded K–12 campus, and Barbara Goleman Senior High School, one of the primary high schools serving the Miami Lakes community. Both schools have Exceptional Student Education (ESE) programs. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside Miami Lakes 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 Lakes neighborhoods including The Cove, The Island, The Crossing, Royal Oaks, and communities around Main Street Miami Lakes and the NW 67th Avenue corridor. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family.
