ABA Therapy Services in Iona, Florida

Situated in southwestern Lee County, Iona is a census-designated place known for its scenic location along the tidal Caloosahatchee River. As part of the Cape Coral-Fort Myers Metropolitan Statistical Area, Iona offers a unique blend of coastal living and community connection for its 16,908 residents (2020 census). For families in Iona managing the complexities of autism spectrum disorder, Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) provides dedicated, accessible Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services.

Iona's geography is defined by its significant water-to-land ratio, with the Caloosahatchee estuary shaping its northern border. The community is traversed by key routes like McGregor Boulevard and Summerlin Road, providing convenient access to nearby Fort Myers and the Sanibel Causeway. This accessibility is central to the MCDS service model. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) travel to meet families directly in their homes, schools, or other community settings. This in-home and community-based approach is particularly beneficial in an unincorporated area like Iona, ensuring that high-quality support is not limited by distance to a clinic.

According to the 2020 census, 6.5% of Iona's population is under the age of 18, and 7.5% of households have children. MCDS understands that these families require flexible and individualized support systems. Our therapy plans are developed to integrate into your family’s daily life, using natural environment training to help children learn and practice new skills in familiar places. Whether it's a session at home or skill-building in a local park, our goal is to foster independence in the environments where your child lives and plays.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to serving the diverse needs of the Iona community. We provide compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy to help children and adolescents build communication, social, and daily living skills. We are proud to support families throughout Lee County, offering a reliable resource for autism services right here in Iona.
