ABA therapy in Naples

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve families in Naples, a city renowned for its beautiful coastline and vibrant community life. As the principal city of the Naples-Marco Island metropolitan area, Naples offers a unique blend of sophisticated charm and natural splendor, from the iconic Naples Pier to the serene waters of Naples Bay. Founded in the 1880s and incorporated as a city in 1949, Naples has grown into a cherished destination for residents and visitors alike, while maintaining its distinct character as "Naples on the Gulf."

We understand that for the nearly 20,000 residents of Naples, family life is paramount. The city's appeal to retirees often means that multi-generational households are common, with grandparents playing an active role in their grandchildren's lives. This is where the MCDS model of care can be particularly supportive. Our in-home ABA therapy services are delivered directly in your home, creating a comfortable and consistent environment for your child to learn and develop new skills. This approach allows our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to integrate therapeutic strategies into your family's daily routines, fostering collaboration and empowering caregivers with effective tools.

Our commitment to community-based ABA therapy also aligns with the Naples lifestyle. We recognize the value of learning in natural settings. Therapy sessions can extend beyond the home to places like local parks or community centers, helping children generalize skills in the environments where they will use them most. For families in Naples, this means therapy can be a flexible and integrated part of life, rather than a disruption to it.

At MCDS, under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our goal is to provide accessible and compassionate ABA therapy services. We offer both in-home and telehealth options to meet the diverse needs of Naples families, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to build foundational skills for communication, social interaction, and independence.
