Terapia ABA en Lake Alfred

Located in the heart of Polk County, Lake Alfred is a city with a rich history tied to Florida's growth. Part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven Metropolitan Statistical Area, Lake Alfred has evolved from a railroad stop with names like Fargo and Bartow Junction into a community of over 6,300 residents. Incorporated in 1915, the city's identity is deeply connected to the citrus industry, highlighted by the establishment of the University of Florida's Citrus Experiment Station in 1917, now known as the UF/IFAS Citrus Research and Education Center. This long-standing focus on research and improvement reflects a community dedicated to growth and development.

For families in Lake Alfred, that spirit of dedicated growth is essential when seeking support for children with autism. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that families need accessible and personalized care that fits into their lives. We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in your home, at your child's school, or through telehealth appointments. This approach eliminates the need for frequent travel to larger urban centers, allowing your child to learn and develop skills in the familiar and comfortable environment of their own community.

Whether your family life revolves around the local schools or enjoying the natural beauty of the area's many lakes, our ABA services are designed to integrate seamlessly. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) collaborate with families to create strategies that support daily routines and participation in community life. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate support that respects the unique needs of each child and family. We work hand-in-hand with parents and caregivers in Lake Alfred to help children build functional communication, social, and adaptive living skills.
