ABA therapy in Citrus Springs
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer dedicated ABA therapy services to families in Citrus Springs, Florida. As a growing census-designated place in northern Citrus County, Citrus Springs provides a unique setting for families, and our services are designed to meet the community's specific needs.
With a population that grew to 10,246 by the 2020 census, Citrus Springs is an expanding community. Data shows that 22.2% of residents are under the age of 18, and nearly 30% of households have children. MCDS understands that for these families, accessing consistent and effective pediatric support is a priority. We bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your home, school, or community setting, which is particularly beneficial in a widespread area like Citrus Springs that covers over 21 square miles.
We recognize that families in Citrus Springs live active lives, and traveling for appointments can be a challenge. Located along U.S. Route 41, the community has clear connections to the county seat of Inverness, but our in-home and telehealth models eliminate the need for frequent commutes. This allows children with autism to learn and develop skills in their most natural and comfortable environments. Our approach is flexible and centered on the family's daily life.
In line with our mission, MCDS provides culturally and linguistically sensitive care. The 2020 census notes that 11.2% of the Citrus Springs population identifies as Hispanic or Latino, and our team is equipped to support this diversity. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, we are committed to ensuring every family feels understood and respected.
For families in Citrus Springs seeking compassionate and evidence-based ABA therapy, MCDS offers a supportive partnership. We are here to provide guidance and structure within the familiar comfort of your own home and community.
