ABA Therapy Services in Parkland, Florida
Located in northern Broward County, Parkland lives up to its motto, "Environmentally Proud," with a longstanding commitment to preserving its park-like character. Incorporated in 1963 from an idea for a rural, open-spaced town, Parkland has carefully managed its growth. While its population surpassed 34,670 by 2020, strict zoning laws have maintained the unique environmental focus that draws families to neighborhoods like Heron Bay and Parkland Isles.
For families in Parkland raising children with autism spectrum disorder, this focus on quality of life and a nurturing environment is paramount. MCDS is proud to extend its individualized ABA therapy services to support families within this unique community. We understand that life in a suburban city like Parkland requires flexible, accessible support that doesn't disrupt family routines. Our services are designed to meet children and families where they are — at home, in the community, or through telehealth appointments.
Parkland's diverse, family-oriented community includes a significant number of households where multiple languages may be spoken, as reflected in its 2020 demographic data showing a growing Hispanic and Asian population. MCDS is committed to providing culturally sensitive care that respects each family’s unique background. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team delivers compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each child's needs.
Whether your child attends a local school or you're looking for support that integrates into your daily life near landmarks like the Everglades, our approach can adapt. Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, and our clinical team work to develop strategies that can be implemented in the natural settings where your child learns and grows. MCDS provides in-home ABA therapy throughout Parkland, offering a convenient and effective path for families seeking to help their children build essential skills in a familiar, comfortable environment.
