ABA therapy in Naples Park

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer dedicated Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Naples Park, Florida. Located in northwestern Collier County, Naples Park is a unique census-designated place with a rich history, having been established in 1951 as a community for retirement and lower-income buyers. Today, it is a vibrant area with a population of over 5,000 residents as of the 2020 Census.

Understanding the distinct character of Naples Park is central to our approach. The community is conveniently located just east of Vanderbilt Lagoon and is bordered by major thoroughfares like U.S. Route 41. This accessibility is ideal for our flexible service models. MCDS brings ABA therapy directly to your family, whether in your home, at a local park, or during community outings. This in-home and community-based approach allows children with autism to learn and practice essential skills in the settings where they will use them most, eliminating the need for constant travel to a clinic.

For families in Naples Park, community integration is a key part of therapy. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) can work with your child on social and functional skills at local destinations like the Mercato, the popular outdoor shopping center considered part of the community. This method helps children build confidence and independence in real-world scenarios.

MCDS recognizes the diverse fabric of Naples Park, where the 2020 Census noted that over 20% of the population is Hispanic or Latino. We are committed to providing culturally and linguistically competent care. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical staff like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, we strive to support every family's unique background and values. Our team offers parent training and support in the comfort of your own Naples Park home, empowering you with effective strategies to foster your child's development. Our goal is to provide accessible, individualized support that respects the needs of every family in this distinct Collier County community.
