ABA therapy in West Melbourne
Located in the heart of Florida's Brevard County, the City of West Melbourne embodies its motto, "Creating New Horizons." This forward-looking spirit is reflected in its remarkable growth; since the year 2000, West Melbourne has seen the highest percentage of population growth of any municipality in the county, reaching a population of 25,924 by the 2020 census. This rapid expansion creates a vibrant, dynamic environment for families.
West Melbourne has a distinct identity, having been incorporated in 1959 specifically to establish its own governance apart from the neighboring city of Melbourne. Today, as part of the greater Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area, it offers residents a unique blend of community focus and regional access. For families navigating the journey of an autism diagnosis, finding accessible and effective support within this growing community is essential.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of West Melbourne with personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. We understand that life in a thriving city can be busy, which is why our services are designed to fit your life. Rather than requiring travel to a clinic, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) provide support directly in the environments where your child lives and learns—at home, in school, or out in the community.
This natural environment approach is central to our philosophy. It allows children and teens to develop crucial skills in the settings where they will use them most. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and BCBA Hiram Aguilera, our team is dedicated to collaborating with families to develop individualized care plans. We offer both in-person and telehealth services to provide a flexible model of support that meets the unique needs of each West Melbourne family we serve, helping them create their own new horizons.
