ABA therapy in Beverly Hills
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Beverly Hills, a unique census-designated place in the heart of Citrus County. Originally developed in the 1960s from former cattle land, Beverly Hills was one of Central Florida's first planned communities, designed to offer a distinct lifestyle. Today, it is a growing community that saw its population increase to 9,961 by the 2020 Census, reflecting its continued appeal.
While historically known as a retirement destination, the community's demographics show a vibrant, multigenerational population. Data from the 2020 census indicates that nearly 18% of residents are under the age of 18, highlighting the presence of many young families. This demographic reality underscores the need for accessible, family-centered support services for children who may require specialized care, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
MCDS is dedicated to meeting this need by providing in-home and community-based ABA therapy services throughout Beverly Hills. We understand that for families, receiving therapy in a familiar environment like the home can be beneficial. Our approach eliminates the need for families to travel, allowing our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and technicians to work with children in their natural settings. This method supports the development of functional life skills in the context where they are most needed.
Reflecting the community's diversity, where over 11% of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, MCDS is committed to providing culturally sensitive care. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinician Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team values clear communication and respect for each family's unique background. For families in Beverly Hills and nearby areas like Lecanto and Pine Ridge, MCDS offers a supportive partner in navigating the path to greater independence and skill development for children with autism.
