ABA therapy in Floral City
Nestled in southeastern Citrus County, Floral City offers a unique glimpse into "Old Florida," a community that retains its historic charm and rural character. With a population of just over 5,200 residents as of the 2020 census, Floral City is known for its abundant wildflowers, historic homes, and a quieter pace of life. Laid out in 1883, the town has a rich history tied to phosphate mining, and today it provides a peaceful setting for families who call it home. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Floral City by providing compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where children are most comfortable.
Understanding the needs of a rural community is essential. The 2020 census noted that 100% of Floral City's population lives in a rural setting, and we recognize that traveling for specialized services can be a significant challenge. MCDS's in-home and school-based ABA therapy models are designed to eliminate this barrier, bringing our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) directly to your doorstep. This approach ensures that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) receive consistent support in their most natural settings, fostering skills that are relevant to their daily lives.
Life in Floral City is closely connected to its natural surroundings, from the expansive Tsala Apopka Lake to the renowned Withlacoochee State Trail, the longest paved trail in Florida. Our community-based therapy services can integrate these local landmarks into a child's learning plan. A therapy session might involve practicing social skills at a park or developing communication skills during a family walk on the trail. This method helps children generalize skills beyond the home environment.
With 13.6% of the local population under the age of 18, MCDS is committed to being a reliable resource for Floral City families. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team works collaboratively with parents and caregivers to create individualized therapy plans. By delivering care at home, in school, or within the community, we help families in Floral City build foundational skills for greater independence and participation in all that this historic town has to offer.
