Terapia ABA en Weeki Wachee

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Weeki Wachee and greater Hernando County. This unique community, famous for the enchanting Weeki Wachee Springs and its iconic mermaid shows, offers a distinct backdrop for raising a family. While it was founded as a city in 1966 primarily to promote its main attraction, Weeki Wachee transitioned to an unincorporated community in 2020, yet its identity remains deeply connected to Florida's natural beauty.

For families living in Weeki Wachee and the surrounding residential areas like Weeki Wachee Gardens and nearby Spring Hill, life is often intertwined with the area's natural landscapes. The expansive 12,000-acre Weeki Wachee Preserve and the state park itself are more than just landmarks; they are part of the community's fabric. We understand that for a child with autism spectrum disorder, these familiar, sensory-rich environments can be powerful settings for growth. MCDS embraces this by offering in-home, school-based, and community-based ABA therapy that integrates into your family's daily life.

Our service model is designed for the realities of life in western Hernando County. Instead of requiring families to travel to a central clinic, our dedicated therapists come to you. This approach is especially beneficial in a region where communities are connected by major thoroughfares like U.S. Route 19 and Florida State Road 50. Therapy can take place where your child is most comfortable and where skills are most needed—in the home, at school, or during a planned community outing. This method supports the generalization of skills, helping children apply what they learn to real-world situations.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from supervisors like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team at MCDS focuses on creating individualized therapy plans. We partner with parents and caregivers to build crucial communication, social, and daily living skills. Our commitment is to provide compassionate, evidence-based support that respects your family’s needs and helps your child thrive within the remarkable community of Weeki Wachee.
