ABA therapy in Inverness

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer dedicated Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Inverness, Florida. As the county seat of Citrus County, Inverness is a community that honors its rich history while embracing its natural surroundings, embodying its nickname, "Small Town Done Right."

Incorporated in 1919, Inverness has a heritage that is visible throughout the city, from the historic Old Citrus County Courthouse—once a filming location for Elvis Presley—to its past as the settlement of Tompkinsville. With a population of just over 7,500 residents, the city maintains a close-knit feel, where community matters. MCDS aligns with this value by providing personalized, in-home ABA therapy that fits seamlessly into your family's daily life, right here in Inverness.

Our approach is designed to be as flexible and accessible as the city itself. Surrounded by the serene waters of Tsala Apopka and Henderson lakes and designated a "Gateway Community" by the Florida Trail Association, Inverness offers wonderful opportunities for community-based learning. Our therapists can incorporate these local settings into therapy sessions, helping children learn and practice new skills in the real-world environments they navigate every day. Whether it's a visit to a local park or another community space, we focus on making learning meaningful and functional.

We understand that life in Citrus County requires practical solutions. By bringing ABA therapy directly to your home or your child's school, we eliminate the stress of travel and scheduling conflicts. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) collaborate with families and educators to create a consistent support system that fosters growth and independence. Under the guidance of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, the MCDS team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. Contact us to learn how we can support your child's journey in the Inverness community.
