ABA therapy in North Lauderdale
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve families in North Lauderdale, a unique Broward County city with a rich design history. Incorporated in 1963, North Lauderdale was once grazing pasture and farmland, home to the Anderson Dairy Farm and Lena Lyons Stringbean Farm. From this blank slate, famed architect Morris Lapidus—known for creating the iconic style of Miami Beach—designed the “City of Tomorrow,” a community planned from the ground up for families.
Today, with a population of over 44,794, North Lauderdale is a thriving and diverse community. Its roots as a family-friendly city are still visible in features like the distinct Boulevard of Champions. We understand that for modern families in this bustling city, convenience and accessibility are essential, especially when it comes to specialized care like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
MCDS brings personalized ABA therapy directly to you. We eliminate the need for an extra commute by providing in-home and community-based services that fit into your family’s routine. Whether your child needs support at home, at a local park, or in other familiar settings, our therapists are there to help them learn and develop skills in their natural environment.
We recognize and respect North Lauderdale's diverse cultural makeup. The 2020 Census noted that a majority of residents identify as Black or African American, and our commitment to multicultural services ensures our ABA programs are sensitive and relevant to every family we serve. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and our clinical team, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care.
Our approach is centered on supporting your child’s development journey within the community you call home. Contact MCDS to learn how our flexible, child-centered ABA therapy services can support your family right here in North Lauderdale.
