ABA Therapy in South Miami
South Miami is a small, incorporated city in central Miami-Dade County, officially known as “The City of Pleasant Living.” Nestled between Coral Gables to the west, Kendall to the south, and Pinecrest to the southeast, South Miami has a close-knit residential character with a charming main street along Sunset Drive, lined with local shops, restaurants, and community spaces. The city is just minutes from the University of Miami and the Dadeland area, giving it a blend of suburban calm and urban accessibility. Sunshine Behavioral Health Services provides BCBA-supervised ABA therapy to families throughout South Miami and the surrounding central Miami-Dade area.
South Miami has a diverse residential community that includes established Anglo-American families alongside significant Latin American and African-American populations. Cuban-American, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Nicaraguan families are well represented throughout the city. Our clinical team provides all ABA therapy services in both English and Spanish — therapy sessions, parent training, BCBA consultations, and all administrative communication — ensuring that bilingual families receive complete clinical care in their preferred language.
South Miami is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and is home to South Miami Senior High School, which has an Exceptional Student Education (ESE) program, as well as several well-regarded elementary and middle schools in the surrounding area. The city’s proximity to the University of Miami also means families have access to a range of educational resources in the area. Our school-based ABA therapy team works directly inside South Miami 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 South Miami and its surrounding communities including the Sunset Drive corridor, Ponce de Leon Boulevard area, the Ludlam Road corridor, and neighborhoods between Coral Gables and Kendall. Our therapists travel to your home — no commute required for your family.
