Lately we’ve seen a lot of posts and seen feedback regarding how people feel that ABA is abusive, and unfortunately there are companies still out there that still target the old school methods of traditional compliance based ABA. At Sunshine Pathways ABA, we come in with a different approach. One with compassion, understanding, and empathy for our families and kiddos where we bring out the their best selves while targeting essential skills for coping, communication, and self-advocacy. SPABA targets your child’s needs on an individualized level and we care for your child as if they were our own.

Currently accepting the following insurances: Florida Blue, New Directions, Lucet, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UHC/ Optum, Oscar Health, ComPsych, Champ VA, and the Step Up scholarship!

☀️ SUNNY SHORTS Episode 6: “They’re Just Doing It for Attention.” 🦦

“They only do that when I’m busy.”

“They know exactly how to get my attention.”

“If I respond, won’t I just make it worse?”

Sunny hears this one a lot. 💛

But what if we looked at attention-seeking a little differently?

For many kids, attention isn’t “just attention.”

It’s connection.

Sometimes a child hasn’t learned the best way to say:

💬 “Come sit with me.”

💬 “Look what I did!”

💬 “I need help.”

💬 “Can we play?”

💬 “I just want you close.”

So their behavior communicates it instead.

That doesn’t mean we have to give every behavior exactly what it’s asking for.

It means we can teach a better way to ask. 🌱

Sunny might practice:

🦦 Tapping someone’s shoulder
🦦 Saying, “Excuse me”
🦦 Asking, “Can you play with me?”
🦦 Using AAC to request attention
🦦 Waiting briefly when someone is unavailable

And here’s the important part:

✨ We don’t only notice them when something goes wrong.

Give connection during the GOOD moments, too.

Notice the quiet request.

Respond to the appropriate tap.

Celebrate the independent communication.

Make the new skill worth using. 💛

Because sometimes the question isn’t…

❌ “How do we stop them from seeking attention?”

It’s…

🌻 “How can we teach them to ask for connection in a way that works?”

Sunny Says:
Connection isn’t a problem behavior. Sometimes we just need help learning how to ask for it. ☀️🦦

☀️ SUNNY’S SHORTS Episode 5: “She Knows Better.” 🦦

“She knows what she’s supposed to do.”

“She’s done it before.”

“She’s just choosing not to.”

But Sunny wants us to remember something important…

Knowing a skill and being able to use that skill in the moment are two different things.

A person may know how to:

* Ask for a break
* Accept “no”
* Wait
* Transition
* Communicate frustration
* Keep their body safe

…and still struggle to do those things when they’re overwhelmed, frustrated, tired, anxious, or faced with something difficult.

💛 That’s where teaching comes in.

Instead of asking:

❌ “Why are they doing this?”

Try asking:

🌻 “What skill is hard to access right now?”

Behavior support shouldn’t be about proving that someone knows better.

It should be about helping them do better by giving them the skills and support to succeed.

Sunny Says:
Skills need practice when things are hard—not just when things are easy. 🦦☀️

Happy Saturday! School starts next week! What a wild summer we’ve had!

Donna Uriostegui here, your friendly local behavioral analyst geared up and ready to help you tackle this school year! For those who don’t know me, I am a board certified behavior analyst that specializes with those on the autism spectrum and struggles with other developmental delays.

I started Sunshine Pathways ABA to support families along the Treasure Coast by offering honest, compassionate, and modern behavioral therapy that’s catered to the individual needs of your child. There’s no cookie cutter approaches here, and we pair you up with staff that can match your child’s needs! Each therapist that is brought in has been background checked, and obtained a board certification called a Registered Behavior Technician Certification.

Sunny’s Shorts Episode 4:✨ Sunny had a challenge!

For Sunny, hearing “no” felt really hard. Following directions wasn’t easy either. There were tears, frustration, and moments when he wanted to give up.

But with patience, encouragement, and the right support, those hard moments became opportunities to learn.

Little by little, Sunny learned that “no” doesn’t mean “never,” taking a deep breath can help, and every small success builds confidence for the next challenge.

That’s what ABA should be about—not perfection, but progress.

Every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and believe:
“I can do hard things.” 💙☀️🦦

💛 Every child deserves to feel included.

Making friends doesn’t always come naturally—and that’s okay.

Some children want to join in but don’t know how.
Some interrupt because they’re excited.
Some stand too close because they’re still learning personal space.
Some just need someone to show them how.

That’s where we come in.

Meet Sunny in our newest Sunny Says story as he learns that social skills aren’t something you’re born with—they’re skills that can be taught, practiced, and celebrated.

At Sunshine Pathways ABA, we help children build confidence, meaningful friendships, and the communication skills they need to thrive.

✨ Because every child deserves to feel like they belong.
