MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Satellite Beach, Brevard County.
ABA therapy in Satellite Beach
For families in Satellite Beach, life is uniquely shaped by the water, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Banana River to the west. As the largest beachside community in South Brevard County, this city of over 11,000 residents offers a distinct coastal lifestyle. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that for families raising children with autism spectrum disorder here, special education and support services must be as flexible and accessible as the community itself.
We recognize that the needs of your family are unique. That's why MCDS focuses on providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where your child lives, learns, and plays. Our in-home ABA therapy services bring qualified professionals to your Satellite Beach residence, creating a comfortable and consistent setting for skill development. This approach eliminates the need for stressful commutes, allowing therapy to be integrated seamlessly into your family’s daily rhythm.
Satellite Beach’s natural surroundings, from its ocean beaches to the canals and Samsons Island, provide valuable opportunities for learning and growth. Our community-based ABA services are designed to help children generalize skills in these real-world settings. Under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), such as Hiram Aguilera, a therapy session might involve practicing social skills at a local park or developing safety awareness during a community outing. Telehealth services are also available, offering an additional layer of convenience and support for busy families.
At MCDS, our mission is to provide accessible and compassionate support. We work with families throughout Satellite Beach and the greater Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville metropolitan area to create individualized therapy plans that respect each child's needs and family goals. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team is committed to being a reliable resource for the Brevard County community.
