Terapia ABA en Immokalee

The name Immokalee comes from the Mikasuki language and translates to "your home"—a sentiment that resonates deeply with our mission at Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS). Located in northern Collier County, this community of over 24,557 residents has a rich history, originally settled by the Calusa and later by the Seminole people who knew the area as Gopher Ridge. Today, Immokalee is a vital agricultural hub, recognized as one of the nation's major centers for tomato growing.

We understand that life in Immokalee is shaped by this unique agricultural identity and a strong sense of community, centered around places like the Immokalee Zocalo Public Plaza. For families here, life can be demanding and schedules may not align with traditional clinic-based appointments. MCDS addresses this by bringing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to you. Our focus on in-home, school-based, and telehealth services means your child can learn and develop skills in the environments where they spend the most time.

As an unincorporated community spread across more than 23 square miles, access to specialized healthcare can involve significant travel. MCDS eliminates this barrier, providing consistent, high-quality support that fits into your family's daily routine. Whether at home or in coordination with your child’s school, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) work to create individualized therapy plans that are relevant to your child’s world. This approach is particularly beneficial for a community where family and home are central pillars of life.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our clinical team including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to serving the diverse families of Immokalee. We honor the community’s heritage by delivering care that is both compassionate and accessible, ensuring that every family has the opportunity to receive support right where they are—in the place they call home.
