Terapia ABA en Bartow

Welcome to Bartow, the historic county seat of Polk County. Known as the "City of Oaks and Azaleas," Bartow offers a unique blend of Southern culture and small-city heritage for its more than 19,300 residents (2020 Census). Founded in 1851 near the headwaters of the Peace River, the city has maintained its distinct identity even as the larger Lakeland-Winter Haven metropolitan area has grown around it. Landmarks like the magnificent Old Polk County Courthouse, built in 1909, stand as testaments to Bartow's long-standing role as "Polk County's Capital City."

For families living in Bartow, this strong sense of community is a major draw. As the area continues to grow, the need for accessible and specialized pediatric services is also expanding. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is committed to supporting Bartow families by providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where children are most comfortable. Our in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA therapy services are designed to meet the needs of a community that values both tradition and progress.

Instead of requiring families to travel along U.S. Route 17 or State Road 60 to larger cities for care, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you. This approach supports skill development in real-world settings—at home, in school, or within the Bartow community. It allows therapy to be integrated into a family's daily routine, helping children with autism spectrum disorder build functional communication and social skills in a familiar context.

Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and BCBA Hiram Aguilera, MCDS is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support. We understand the unique fabric of Bartow and are proud to partner with local families, providing the resources they need to help their children learn and develop right here in the City of Oaks and Azaleas.
