ABA therapy in Harbour Heights

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to families in Harbour Heights, Florida. As a census-designated place in Charlotte County, this community of over 3,400 residents enjoys a distinct identity on the northwest side of the scenic Peace River, while also being part of the greater Punta Gorda Metropolitan Statistical Area.

We recognize that for families in Harbour Heights, accessing specialized care for children with autism or related disorders should be convenient and integrated into daily life. The 2020 Census noted that about 19% of households in the area include children under the age of 18. MCDS addresses the needs of these families by providing in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA therapy services. This approach brings our dedicated therapists directly to you, eliminating the need for frequent travel and allowing children to learn and develop skills in their natural environments—be it at home, at school, or within the community.

Our service model is particularly well-suited for the lifestyle of Harbour Heights residents. Situated just a mile from Interstate 75 via Harbor View Road, the community is well-connected, but our goal is to bring support right to your doorstep. By working with children where they are most comfortable, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) can create personalized strategies that are more easily integrated into family routines. Under the guidance of our leadership, including BCBA Hiram Aguilera, our team is committed to providing culturally sensitive care that respects the unique background of every family, including the 8.4% of residents who identify as Hispanic or Latino.

At MCDS, we focus on empowering parents and caregivers with the tools to support their child's progress. We collaborate closely with families and educators to build a consistent support system that fosters communication, social skills, and independence. If your family is in Harbour Heights and seeking ABA therapy services, we invite you to connect with us to learn how we can help.
