ABA therapy in Lake Suzy
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve families in Lake Suzy, a unique unincorporated community located in the quiet southwestern corner of DeSoto County. Known for its peaceful residential character, freshwater fishing, and recreation at the Kingsway Golf Club, Lake Suzy offers a distinct way of life for its residents. From the family homes in the deed-restricted Pembroke Circle community to the estates near the private airport, we understand that families here value privacy and convenience.
For parents of children with autism spectrum disorder, finding accessible and effective support in a smaller community can present challenges. MCDS bridges this gap by delivering personalized ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy directly to your home. Instead of requiring you to travel to a clinic in Port Charlotte or another larger city, our certified therapists come to you, integrating evidence-based strategies into your child's familiar environment. This in-home model helps children learn and practice new skills in the setting where they are most comfortable.
Our commitment to accessibility extends beyond the home. MCDS offers telehealth ABA therapy, providing a flexible option that fits the schedules of busy Lake Suzy families. We also coordinate with local educational institutions, such as Faith Preparatory School and Laurel Oaks Academy, to provide school-based support when appropriate. By collaborating with teachers and staff, we help foster a consistent therapeutic approach across all areas of a child's life.
Led by Executive Director Damaris Baez and supervising clinician Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is dedicated to creating individualized care plans that respect your family’s needs and values. We partner with you to support your child’s development journey right here in Lake Suzy, ensuring that high-quality ABA therapy is always within reach.
