ABA Therapy Services in Marathon, Florida

Located in the heart of the Florida Keys, Marathon is a unique city spread across a series of islands, including Vaca Key, Grassy Key, and Knight's Key. Incorporated in 1999, this relatively new city has a rich history tied to the Florida East Coast Railroad, whose workers famously dubbed the area "Marathon" for the grueling pace of their work. Today, with a population of nearly 10,000 residents, life in Marathon is defined by its island geography, connected by the Overseas Highway and iconic structures like the Seven Mile Bridge.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the distinct lifestyle of families in Monroe County. For parents and caregivers of children with autism, the logistics of living on a series of keys can present unique challenges, especially when it comes to accessing consistent healthcare and support services. Traveling between islands for appointments can add significant time and stress to an already busy schedule. That is why our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is centered on providing services directly in your home and community.

Our in-home ABA therapy model brings our dedicated therapists to you, whether your family resides on Grassy Key, near the business district at Sombrero Beach Road, or elsewhere within Marathon's city limits. By eliminating the need for frequent travel to a clinic, we help families integrate therapy into their daily routines more seamlessly. This approach allows therapy to occur in the child's natural environment, fostering skills that are practical and relevant to their everyday life at home.

Furthermore, our community-based services leverage the unique environment of the Keys. Therapy sessions can extend to local parks, stores, and other familiar community settings, helping children build social and functional skills in real-world situations. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to making ABA therapy accessible for every family. We provide personalized support that respects the specific needs and circumstances of the Marathon community.
