Terapia ABA en Fruitville, FL

Terapia ABA en Fruitville

Located within Sarasota County, Fruitville is a community rich with Florida history, home to more than 15,000 residents. From its pioneer roots in the 1870s to its modern identity, Fruitville has always been a place defined by growth and adaptation. The community was aptly named by settler Charles Reaves in 1876 for the area's abundant fruit, a name that hints at the agricultural legacy that would shape its future.

In the early 20th century, the Sarasota-Fruitville drainage district transformed thousands of acres of wetland into fertile farmland, much of which was dedicated to growing celery. This agricultural boom brought a significant migrant workforce, and the community responded by establishing the Fruitville Area Medical and Educational (FAME) Center in 1966 to provide essential services. This spirit of community support and resourcefulness continues today. Areas like the historic farmland have been reclaimed as the Celery Fields, a regional stormwater facility and popular public space.

Fruitville has a long history of prioritizing education for its families. The first school was started in a converted corncrib in 1887, eventually leading to the Works Progress Administration funding the construction of Fruitville Elementary in 1941. For modern families living in communities from Tatum Ridge to The Meadows, this legacy of accessible local resources is vital.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support Fruitville families by providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the home and community. Our model is designed for the convenience of busy families. Instead of requiring you to travel to a clinic, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you. This approach allows children with autism spectrum disorder to learn and practice new skills in their most natural and familiar environments—whether at home, a local park, or in the community.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical guidance from professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS focuses on personalized therapy plans that fit your family’s unique needs and daily life. We are committed to serving the Fruitville community, providing compassionate, evidence-based support right where you live.
