Today, we honor and celebrate ‘World Behavior Analysis Day’ and recognize the science of behavior analysis, its contributions to improving lives and how its shaped the world of both human behavior and human connection.

Here at Sunshine, we are blessed with a thriving community of RBTs, BCBAs, OTs, a SLP and a LCSW. These professionals bring profound scientific knowledge to the field, cutting edge intervention techniques while coming in each day magnifying advocacy, empathy and bridging the powerful nature of human connection to the people we serve.

We believe in quality ethical care. We believe in consistency. We believe in human advocacy. The world is full of noise and it needs people willing to do the work, day in and day out. Because at the end of the day, people are what they do. Not what they say they believe. Not what they post. Not what they promise. We are the boots on the ground. We are listeners. We are the observers. We are the science-driven academics. We are here for you.

Here at Sunshine, every day is a celebration. We are blessed by the best.

Sunshine ABA Therapy is proud to announce that Sara Black has joined our ever-growing team!

Sara is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of experience who has dedicated her career to serving individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD), complex behavioral challenges, and mental health concerns. Her journey began right here in Bloomington as an Indiana University graduate, where she first served the community as a behavior specialist and job coach. Sara’s career has since spanned the evolution of behavioral health, from clinical care in the early days of ABA to executive leadership roles across Florida and California.
After earning a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California in 2018, Sara began a transition back to clinical care and eventually, back to Indiana where she completed her full clinical licensure and opened an independent therapy practice. This trajectory gives her a profound understanding of the complex intersections between healthcare systems and the I/DD community.
Rooted in trauma-informed and person-centered care, Sara’s approach centers on respecting and affirming each individual’s lived experience. She recognizes that meaningful growth extends beyond the individual; by ensuring parents and caregivers feel truly supported, she empowers the entire family unit to thrive.

We are grateful for her knowledge, compassion and her presence! More announcements about Sara coming soon!!
