MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Cocoa Beach, Brevard County.

ABA therapy in Cocoa Beach

For the more than 11,354 residents of Cocoa Beach, life is shaped by the unique coastal environment of Brevard County. As a community that was incorporated as a city in 1957 and has grown into a world-famous destination, Cocoa Beach offers a distinct lifestyle that blends tourism, local life, and a rich history, including the presence of the historic Naval Air Station Banana River during World War II.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that for families in Cocoa Beach, balancing therapy appointments with the demands of work, school, and life in a bustling beach town can be challenging. That's why we bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to you. Our focus on in-home and community-based services is designed to fit seamlessly into your family's routine, whether you live near the iconic Cocoa Beach Pier or in a neighborhood connected by State Road A1A.

By providing ABA therapy in your child's natural environment, our therapists can help them develop and generalize skills in the settings where they are most needed. This approach eliminates the stress of traveling to a clinic, allowing for more consistent and integrated support. Imagine your child learning communication and social skills in the comfort of your own home, with a program tailored specifically to their needs and your family's goals. For families seeking additional flexibility, we also offer telehealth services, providing expert guidance and support remotely.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and our clinical team, MCDS is committed to providing compassionate and professional care. We partner with Cocoa Beach families to create individualized therapy plans that respect the unique fabric of your lives. Our goal is to empower your child and support your family by delivering high-quality ABA services where you are most comfortable.
