What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to understanding and improving behavior. It focuses on how behavior works, how it is affected by the environment, and how learning takes place. ABA uses evidence-based techniques to increase positive behaviors, teach new skills, and reduce behaviors that may interfere with learning or daily life.
At Sunny Solutions ABA, we tailor ABA therapy to meet the unique needs of each individual, helping them achieve meaningful progress in communication, social skills, independence, and more. Whether at home, in school, or in the community, ABA empowers individuals to reach their fullest potential.

Founder & Clinical Director
Deanna Dixon is the Founder and Clinical Director of Sunny Solutions ABA. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA), Deanna holds a master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from Bay Path University and a Sixth-Year Diploma in Educational Psychology and Special Education from the University of Connecticut. She is currently pursuing her Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in Transformative Leadership, where her research focuses on strengthening collaboration among educators, behavior analysts, and support staff to improve outcomes for students with autism and other developmental disabilities.
Deanna's passion for supporting individuals with unique needs began during her freshman year of high school, where she discovered a deep sense of purpose while working alongside families and individuals with disabilities. Since then, she has dedicated more than 20 years to serving individuals across residential, community-based, educational, and clinical settings. These experiences have shaped her commitment to advocacy, person-centered care, and meaningful outcomes for the individuals and families she serves.
After becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Deanna expanded her work across home, school, and community settings, providing direct services, consultation, staff training, and leadership within both educational and clinical environments. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to helping individuals build the skills necessary to increase independence, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Sunny Solutions ABA was established to address the critical shortage of person-centered, family-focused ABA therapy services. Recognizing that meaningful progress occurs when families feel supported and included in the therapeutic process, Deanna founded Sunny Solutions ABA with a vision of creating a practice where collaboration, compassion, and individualized care are at the center of every service provided.
At the heart of Deanna's work is a simple belief: every individual deserves to be seen for their strengths, every family deserves to feel supported, and meaningful progress happens through partnership. She is passionate about providing high-quality, equitable care that honors each family's unique experiences, values, and goals. Through Sunny Solutions ABA, Deanna strives to create an environment where individuals, families, and staff feel empowered to grow, succeed, and celebrate every step forward.
Under her leadership, Sunny Solutions ABA continues to expand its impact through home-based services, caregiver support, professional development, and school-based consultation. Deanna believes that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive and that small steps forward can lead to life-changing outcomes.
"At Sunny Solutions ABA, we celebrate every small step because small steps create lasting change."
