Terapia ABA en Coleman

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to the families of Coleman, a historic city in Sumter County. With a population of just 642 as of the 2020 census, Coleman embodies a close-knit community spirit, reflected in its motto: “Holding on to the Values of the Past while Moving Progressively into the Future.” This philosophy of honoring tradition while building new skills aligns closely with the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

Coleman's story is one of transformation, from its origins as Fort McClure during the Second Seminole War in 1840 to its incorporation as a city in 1908. The community's identity was built on agriculture, with citrus, cotton, and cattle driving its economy. In the early 20th century, Coleman earned the nickname the "cabbage capital of the world" for its prolific cabbage production, a unique piece of local heritage. This rich history provides a stable and familiar backdrop for families raising children with autism spectrum disorder.

For families in a smaller city like Coleman, accessing specialized healthcare can sometimes mean long commutes. MCDS addresses this challenge by providing compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy directly in your home, school, or community setting. Our services are designed to fit the rhythm of life in Coleman, whether that means scheduling sessions around family routines or incorporating local points of interest. The nearby natural beauty of Lake Panasoffkee, an area noted for its environmental preservation, offers a wonderful resource for community-based instruction, helping children generalize skills in real-world settings.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to a collaborative approach. We work hand-in-hand with parents and caregivers, empowering them with strategies to support their child’s development. By offering both in-home and telehealth services, we ensure that every family in Coleman has a convenient and effective pathway to ABA therapy, helping children build a progressive future while being rooted in the values of their home community.
