Our Story
Sunshine ABA Therapy
Sunshine ABA Therapy was born out of a passion for creating meaningful change. Sharady Richardson opened this business in 2021 with one goal in mind: create an ABA therapy clinic that actually meets a family’s needs, on their time and at a location known best to them. Her clients were grateful, and her business grew from one intern to a team of 15 across three locations in the time since.
Though the team has grown, the core of the mission is the same. Sunshine ABA Therapy was the first in the state to offer school-based ABA therapy, and one of the first to offer ABA for diagnoses other than Autism. We have always and will continue to put our families’ needs first.
WHAT SETS
US APART
FOCUSED
on what’s best for your family
We don’t require more than a family can handle in a week. That means your child can see us anywhere between 10 and 40 hours per week for care, depending on how much support they need and your flexibility at school, at home, in clinic, or in the community.
ENSURING YOU
enjoy easier access to care
While an Autism diagnosis requires three professional assessments, we’re able to offer you insurance-covered ABA therapy with only two completed assessments. No more waiting months on end for the third assessment to get help.
COMMITTED
to affordable treatment
We accept insurance for youth 21 and under with 2 of the 3 assessments complete for an autism assessment. We also, however, offer out of pocket services for adults who want help changing difficult behaviors, as well as individuals of all ages who have a developmental diagnosis other than Autism, such as ADD, ADHD, OCD, Down Syndrome, and more.
Our Philosophy
Our approach is client-led and neurodivergent affirming. That means that if Johnny wants to play with trucks today, we’ll use trucks to teach new skills. No attempt is made to manipulate or harm a child for their differences, but rather, we use those differences as an opportunity to teach and improve their quality of life.
