Who we are

Thoughtful ABA Therapy Built Around Your Child, Family, and Daily Life

Families choose A Sunny Day because they want care that feels personal, responsive, and clinically thoughtful.
We support children across clinic, home, school, and community settings. Each care plan is shaped around your child’s needs, your family’s priorities, and the level of support that will help skills carry into everyday routines.

Our approach is warm, structured, and practical. Children receive support that helps them build meaningful skills while still having space to play, connect, and be kids.

This setting may help children practice communication, play skills, social interaction, group participation, school readiness, and daily living skills.

In-Home ABA Therapy

Caregivers are included so strategies feel practical and useful between sessions.

Community-Based ABA Therapy

Community-based ABA helps children practice skills in real-world settings such as stores, parks, restaurants, appointments, family outings, and recreational activities. This support helps children build confidence, flexibility, communication, safety awareness, and independence in everyday environments.

Why Families Choose A Sunny Day

Families often come to A Sunny Day because they want care that feels personal, responsive, and clinically thoughtful.
Our team focuses on quality client care, meaningful family communication, and support that helps children practice skills in the settings where they live, learn, and play.

Flexible Scheduling Without Broad Minimum Requirements

Every child and family has different needs.
A Sunny Day does not rely on a one-size schedule model. Hours are based on clinical priorities, family capacity, and meaningful support needs.
We consider each family’s schedule, goals, and service setting when building a plan.

Consistent Provider Relationships

Provider continuity supports trust, communication, and stronger clinical understanding.
When possible, families work with 1 to 2 consistent providers instead of frequent provider changes. This helps children build familiarity with their team and helps caregivers communicate with people who know their child well.
