Terapia ABA en Big Pine Key

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Big Pine Key, a unique and vital community within the Florida Keys. As an unincorporated area in Monroe County with a close-knit population of 4,521 residents, Big Pine Key offers a distinct lifestyle centered around its natural beauty and island geography. We understand that for the families and the 12.7% of residents under the age of 18, access to specialized services like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy should be convenient and integrated into your daily life.

The very geography that makes this island special can also present challenges. Life in Big Pine Key is connected by the iconic Overseas Highway (U.S. 1), with commutes to nearby Key West or Marathon being a regular part of life for many. MCDS eliminates the burden of travel by bringing compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy directly to you. Our in-home and telehealth services are designed to fit the schedules of Big Pine Key families, providing support where your child is most comfortable.

Our approach extends into the community settings that define life here. Therapy sessions can incorporate goals in natural environments, whether it's practicing social skills near local landmarks like The Blue Hole or other community spaces. This community-based model helps children generalize skills in real-world situations. Recognizing the diverse fabric of Big Pine Key, which includes a Hispanic population of nearly 14%, we are dedicated to providing culturally and linguistically competent care, with services available in both English and Spanish.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to a family-centered philosophy. MCDS collaborates with parents and caregivers, providing the tools and strategies needed to support a child’s development. For families in Big Pine Key, our goal is to deliver accessible, high-quality ABA therapy that respects your island lifestyle and empowers your child to thrive.
