ABA therapy in Everglades City
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Everglades City, a historic community in Collier County with deep roots in Florida's unique natural landscape. As a former county seat with a population of just 352 people, Everglades City offers a close-knit, tranquil environment that many families cherish. Incorporated as a town in 1923, the city is a gateway to the vast wilderness of the Everglades, home to significant landmarks like the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Visitor Center for Everglades National Park and the Museum of the Everglades.
We understand that living in a smaller, more remote community can present challenges when seeking specialized services like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children with autism. MCDS bridges this gap by bringing compassionate, evidence-based care directly to you. Our model is built on accessibility, offering in-home ABA therapy that allows your child to learn and grow in their most comfortable and familiar setting. This approach eliminates the need for long commutes to larger cities, enabling families to maintain their lifestyle in this unique corner of Collier County.
Furthermore, our telehealth services provide a flexible and effective option for parent training and direct therapy sessions, connecting your family with our experienced clinicians regardless of distance. Community-based ABA therapy is another cornerstone of our practice, where skills learned at home are generalized to real-world settings. A therapist might accompany your family on an outing to a local park or community space, providing support as your child practices communication and social skills.
At MCDS, we believe in a collaborative, family-centered approach. Led by our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, our team is dedicated to empowering parents with the tools and strategies to support their child's development. We are committed to serving the diverse needs of all families in Collier County, including the historic and resilient community of Everglades City.
