We’re passionate, ambitious, and dedicated. We love what we do and the community we do it for.
How we are different
A Sunny Day is convinced ABA can be more than direct services in the clinic setting. We believe progress is truly achieved by working in a variety of settings (in-home, clinic, school, community), and strive to work in as many settings as possible (most specifically, in-home). We also affirm that quality comes with consistent therapists and schedules. Therefore, our families work with one primary clinician, so your child does not go back and forth between multiple therapists (which often result in minimal progress being able to be established). We furthermore believe quality comes with knowledgable and experienced clinicians. For that reason, we do our absolute best to have BCBAs do direct services. If we do have RBTs, we only hire RBTs that are currently working towards becoming a BCBA.
How we got here!
A Sunny Day opened in January 2022 with the sole purpose of ensuring top quality services. The Founder, Martine Flake, discovered her love of ABA in 2012. She quickly found a passion that she could not ignore, and began the journey to becoming a BCBA. She spent three years as a Behavior Technician, and two years as an assistant behavior analyst, before passing her BCBA certification exam. She then spent five years as a BCBA before opening her own company. A Sunny Day is a dream come true for Martine and she can’t wait to help your family!
How we do the most for your family
Whether your family is in need of ABA services or just general help, we cover a variety of services! We work hard to tackle common struggles with working with insurance to ensure your family is getting all the help you need! For example, activities of daily living (ex: brushing teeth, tying shoes, budgeting skills, ordering from a menu, grocery shopping, managing a schedule, etc.) are generally denied by insurance companies. However, A Sunny Day understands the importance of these skills to ensure the highest quality and independent life! Therefore, we offer these services outside of insurance. Concerned about the cost? No problem! We will work with you to find grants, scholarships, or any other funding source to ensure your child can receive these needed services! But we don’t stop here, we also offer specialized social skills groups, IEP advocates, and so much more! Keep up with us on social media to see what new services we offer or contact us to learn more!
Our approach to quality
Client focused operations
Our approach to services is centered around the client and their family. There are no schedule or therapist changes without prior approval from parents/caregivers, minimal hours are scheduled and hours are faded as soon as it’s appropriate to prevent over working the child and over-scheduling the family. We also assess the child instead of using assessments on the child (in other words, we don’t just depend on pre-made assessments, we look at the whole child when determining goals and direction of services).
More than just BCBAs doing ABA
We believe in a well-rounded approach to helping and building the community. In addition to ABA services, we also strive to find ways around current issues, and provide additional resources, such as: ADL classes, job skills classes, parent support groups for the community, and community BCBA and RBT support, just for a start!
Mental health priority for staff members
We are a company that teaches others about emotions, and we practice what we preach! Staff member burnout prevention is an absolute priority. We show this by having over 18 paid holidays per year, no sessions are scheduled on Fridays, offer a flexible work schedule, a company training is provided every month, and specialized career focuses are offered! When staff members aren’t overworked, there are less errors, and more success, meaning more results for your family.
