Terapia ABA en Lakeland

Located in the heart of Polk County, Lakeland is a significant city in Central Florida, strategically positioned along I-4 between Tampa and Orlando. As the most populous city in the county with over 112,000 residents as of 2020, Lakeland offers a unique blend of urban amenities and natural beauty. Known as “Swan City” for the famous swans of Lake Morton, the area provides families with beautiful outdoor spaces, including the expansive 1,267-acre Circle B Bar Reserve.

For families in Lakeland managing the needs of a child with autism, the city's size and layout can present challenges when accessing specialized services. Commuting to and from appointments can add stress to an already busy schedule. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands these challenges and offers a flexible approach to ABA therapy that fits the Lakeland lifestyle. By providing services directly in your home, school, or community settings, we eliminate the need for frequent travel to a center.

Our in-home ABA therapy services are designed to support children in their most familiar environment. This allows our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to work with your child on developing essential skills within the context of their daily life and routines. For a family living near a landmark like Circle B Bar Reserve, a therapy session might involve practicing social skills or following directions during a nature walk. For another family, a session could focus on communication and behavior during a trip to a local store.

This community-based approach allows our therapists to collaborate closely with parents and caregivers, providing the tools and strategies to support progress outside of scheduled sessions. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical supervisors like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to the specific needs of each family in Lakeland. We partner with you to create a supportive framework that helps your child learn and engage with the world around them.
