Families Who Have Been Where You Are

These families came to us with the same questions and concerns you may have right now. Here is what happened after their first call.

★★★★★

“The team at Sunshine completely changed our family’s life. My son went from having multiple meltdowns every day to using full sentences to tell us what he needs. In four months we saw more progress than we had in the previous two years. I cannot say enough about how dedicated and caring his therapist has been.”

Maria L.

Parent of a 5-year-old

In-Home ABA

★★★★★

“What sets Sunshine apart is how much they include the parents. Our BCBA taught us the exact same techniques they use in sessions. Now we can support our daughter consistently at home, not just during therapy. The consistency has made all the difference in her progress.”

David R.

Parent of a 9-year-old

Parent Training

★★★★★

“Our son’s behavior at school has improved dramatically since starting the school-based program. His teacher tells us he is more focused, participates in group activities, and is starting to make friends. We are so grateful we found Sunshine.”

What Families Say About In-Home Services

Our in-home program serves families across all four counties. Here is what parents tell us about the experience.

★★★★★

“From the very first session Jason felt comfortable with his therapist. She understood him, matched his energy, and made every session feel like play. Within three months he was making eye contact and starting to initiate conversations. We are so grateful.”

Rosa M.

Parent of a 4-year-old

In-Home ABA

★★★★★

“We had tried another provider before Sunshine and the difference was night and day. The BCBA actually sat down with us, explained the treatment plan in detail, and checked in with us every week. We always knew exactly what was happening and why.”

Carlos V.

Parent of a 6-year-old

In-Home ABA

★★★★★

“My daughter is on the spectrum and also has significant anxiety about new places and people. The in-home program meant she could start therapy in her own space where she felt safe. Her progress has been incredible and she now asks for her therapist by name.”

What Parents Say About School-Based Support

Families whose children receive ABA therapy inside the classroom share what changed when therapy came to school.

★★★★★

“The collaboration between Sunshine and our son’s school has been outstanding. His BCBA attends IEP meetings, works directly with his teacher, and tracks progress both at home and at school. For the first time everything is working together.”

Michael B.

Parent of an 8-year-old

School-Based ABA

★★★★★

“Our daughter was struggling with classroom behavior and falling behind her peers. The school-based team from Sunshine identified exactly what was triggering her behavior and put strategies in place that her teacher could use consistently. Her grades have improved and she is happier at school.”

Lucia F.

Parent of a 7-year-old

School-Based ABA

★★★★★

“Having a Sunshine therapist inside the classroom made such a difference. The support was right there when our son needed it, not just in a session twice a week. His teacher says he is a completely different kid compared to last year.”

What Parents Learn From Our BCBA Team

★★★★★

“The parent training program gave me tools I use every single day. Before Sunshine I felt helpless when my son had a meltdown. Now I understand what triggers them, how to respond, and how to prevent most of them before they start. The BCBA was patient, clear, and never made me feel judged.”

Yolanda P.

Parent of a 5-year-old

★★★★★

“I was skeptical about parent training at first. But after the first session I understood why it is so important. The strategies my daughter’s BCBA taught me are the same ones she uses in therapy. When I apply them at home the results are consistent. That consistency is everything.”

Thomas K.

Parent of a 6-year-old

Early Intervention

Families Who Started Early

★★★★★

“We started the early intervention program with our son at 2 years and 4 months after his autism diagnosis. Within six months he went from having no functional words to a vocabulary of over 80 words. Starting early made all the difference. The team at Sunshine treated our son with so much love.”

Ana G.

Parent of a 3-year-old

★★★★★

“Our pediatrician told us to start ABA therapy as early as possible. Sunshine got us started within three weeks of our first call. The progress our daughter has made in communication and daily routines before her third birthday is beyond what we ever hoped for.”

James O.

Parent of a 2-year-old

Monroe County · Florida Keys

Serving Families in the Keys

★★★★★

“Living in the Keys made me worry we would not be able to access quality ABA therapy. Sunshine offered telehealth for parent training and found a way to provide in-home services for our son. They never made us feel like we were too far away or too difficult to serve.”

Sandra M.

Parent of a 5-year-old

Key Largo, Monroe County

Insurance Verification

No Insurance Paperwork Stress

★★★★★

“I had no idea where to start with insurance. Sunshine’s team called my insurance company, figured out my benefits, explained everything in plain language, and handled all the authorization paperwork. I did not have to do anything except show up for the first session.”

Patricia N.

Parent of a 4-year-old
