We are so proud to announce that our very own BCBA, Jad David Makarem, will be speaking tomorrow at the legendary ‘HABA’s Hoosier Happy Hour’ CE event! His presentation will focus on; Building and Sustaining Successful ABA Clinics in Rural Communities.

Jad Makarem was born in Detroit, Michigan, and spent much of his childhood in the United Arab Emirates. In 2014, he returned to Detroit to attend Wayne State University. After working as a behavior technician for two years, Jad pursued a master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at Western Michigan University, graduating in 2022.

Jad became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in June 2023 and joined Sunshine in March 2024 as the Lead BCBA for the Mitchell, Indiana location. Throughout his career in ABA, Jad has worked with a diverse range of clients across different ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultural communities.

These experiences, along with his own perspective as a minority, have shaped Jad’s commitment to reducing barriers to accessing ABA therapy. His work at Sunshine focuses on developing service delivery models that expand access to ABA services in rural and underserved communities.

Currently, Jad is leading the development of Sunshine’s fourth location in Linton, Indiana. Building on the success of the Mitchell location, he aims to continue supporting the growth of accessible, inclusive ABA services for communities that have historically had limited access to care.

Hearts were melting during a recent ‘Touch-A-Truck’ event at our Linton campus.
The local Linton Fire Department graced us with their presence, allowed our kiddos to have an incredible experience being inside their truck and learning about the skills of being a firefighter. 🚒

We want to shoutout Firefighters Rice and Keller
who led this incredible and connective event. They were both patient, informative,
professional and so fun to be around!

This event was an incredible example of what community looks like. Thank you
Linton Fire Department for everything!

On March 23rd, Bloomington Police Department launched the ‘Blue Envelope’ Program. This initiative is designed to support drivers with autism by providing a blue envelope to hold essential documents, such as vehicle registration, driver’s license, and insurance information. The envelope also includes a section for the driver's name, communication preferences (such as being non-verbal), and specific tips for police interaction. In the event of a traffic stop or accident, drivers are instructed to inform the officer, “I have a blue envelope.”

The program aims to enhance understanding, communication, reduce anxiety and magnify safety during interactions between law enforcement and individuals with autism, dementia, anxiety, or Down syndrome.

Recently, our CEO and the President of ‘Monroe County Autism Foundation’, Ashley Lehman, sat down with the IDS to discuss this new initiative.
