ABA Therapy Services in Pahokee, Florida

Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, Pahokee is a city with a distinct history and a resilient spirit. Known as "Muck City" for its rich, fertile soil, the community's identity is deeply connected to its agricultural roots. Since its incorporation in 1922, Pahokee has been a cornerstone of the Glades region in Palm Beach County. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the approximately 5,500 residents of this unique community, offering accessible and compassionate ABA therapy services.

Understanding the diverse fabric of Pahokee is central to our mission. With a population that, as of 2020, is primarily African American (57%) and Hispanic or Latino (33%), providing culturally sensitive care is a priority. MCDS is dedicated to delivering ABA therapy that respects each family’s language, values, and household routines. Our family-centered approach ensures that parents and caregivers are integral partners in the therapeutic process, creating consistent support for each child's development.

We recognize that for families in an agricultural hub like Pahokee, life can be demanding and travel can be challenging. That’s why MCDS focuses on bringing services directly to you. Our in-home ABA therapy allows children to learn new skills in their most natural and comfortable environment. We also offer telehealth services, providing a flexible and convenient option for consultations and parent training. This approach reduces the burden of travel and integrates therapy seamlessly into your family’s daily life.

Collaboration with the local education system is a key component of our services. As part of the School District of Palm Beach County, children in Pahokee attend schools like Pahokee Elementary School and Pahokee Middle-High School. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are experienced in working with educators to support a child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP), ensuring that developmental goals are aligned between home, school, and community settings.

Under the guidance of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical leaders like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to supporting families in Pahokee. We invite you to learn more about how our in-home, school-based, and community-centered ABA services can fit your family’s needs.
