ABA therapy in Lauderhill
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Lauderhill, a diverse and historic city within Broward County. With a population of over 74,000 as of the 2020 census, Lauderhill has a unique story, from its 1959 incorporation with homes famously sold through Macy's department store to its modern identity as a vibrant, multicultural hub.
Originally established as a retirement community, Lauderhill today is home to a rich tapestry of cultures, including a large and influential community of Jamaican and West Indian families, earning it the nickname "Jamaica Hill." MCDS honors this diversity by striving to provide culturally sensitive ABA therapy. We understand that effective autism support involves the entire family, and our approach is tailored to respect the values and dynamics of each household we serve, whether in the Inverrary neighborhood or across the city.
For Lauderhill families, managing schedules and transportation can be a challenge. MCDS addresses this by offering applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the settings where it is most needed and convenient. Our services are available in your home, at your child's school, or in community locations throughout Lauderhill. This in-home and community-based model allows our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists to work with your child in their natural environment, using familiar routines to support skill development. This approach can be especially helpful for families seeking flexible support that integrates into their established lives.
Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical staff like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to providing accessible support. We offer telehealth services as a flexible alternative for Lauderhill families, ensuring consistent care is always within reach. If your family is navigating the journey of autism, we invite you to connect with MCDS to learn more about our individualized ABA therapy programs available in your community.
