ABA therapy in Lazy Lake
The Village of Lazy Lake is one of South Florida's most unique municipalities and the smallest incorporated city by area in Broward County. With a population of just 33 residents as of the 2020 census, this quiet community was intentionally designed for privacy and anonymity. Founded in 1946 around a former rock quarry that became its namesake lake, the village officially incorporated in 1953 to preserve its distinct, low-key character when the surrounding city of Wilton Manors was forming.
Today, Lazy Lake exists as a complete enclave within Wilton Manors, with a single road, Lazy Lane, serving its residents. This distinct geographical reality underscores the daily life of families here. While residents enjoy the tranquility of their secluded village, they rely on the infrastructure of Wilton Manors and neighboring areas for schools, shopping, and community services. For families managing the needs of a child with autism spectrum disorder, this can add a layer of complexity to an already busy schedule.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the unique circumstances of families in Lazy Lake. Our in-home ABA therapy model is perfectly suited for this environment. By bringing compassionate, evidence-based therapy directly to your doorstep, we eliminate the need for stressful commutes, allowing your child to learn and grow in their most natural and comfortable setting. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) work with your family to integrate therapy into your daily routines, respecting the privacy and quiet atmosphere that define life in the village.
Furthermore, our services extend beyond the home. MCDS offers community-based ABA therapy to help children practice and generalize skills in real-world settings. Since Lazy Lake residents regularly visit nearby Wilton Manors for everyday activities, our therapists can accompany your family to parks, stores, and other local venues to build social, communication, and functional living skills in the very community where they will be used. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing flexible and accessible support that honors the individual needs of every family and community we serve.
