Terapia ABA en Lake Helen

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Lake Helen, a historic community in Volusia County known as "The Gem of Florida." Incorporated in 1888, Lake Helen has a long-standing identity and a close-knit community feel, reflected in its 2020 population of just 2,842 residents. We understand that families here value a personalized approach to care, one that respects the unique fabric of their community.

Data from the 2020 census highlights that nearly a quarter of households in Lake Helen include children under the age of 18. MCDS is dedicated to supporting these families by providing accessible, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Our services are designed to meet the needs of children with autism spectrum disorder right where they are, whether at home, in school, or within the community.

A significant characteristic of Lake Helen is its blend of urban and rural living; the 2020 census noted that nearly 39% of residents live in rural areas. This unique geography can present challenges for families seeking consistent clinical services. MCDS addresses this directly through flexible service models. Our in-home ABA therapy brings qualified behavior technicians to your doorstep, eliminating the need for frequent, time-consuming travel. For families in more remote locations or those seeking additional support, our telehealth services provide a convenient and effective way to connect with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) for supervision and parent training.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinicians like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing culturally competent care that aligns with each family's values. As a Medicaid-approved provider, MCDS works to ensure that families in Lake Helen have access to the resources they need to help their children develop skills and thrive in their familiar, supportive environments.
