ABA therapy in Moore Haven
Located on the southwest shoreline of Lake Okeechobee, Moore Haven serves as the county seat of Glades County and is a key community within the Florida Heartland region. Founded in 1915 and incorporated just two years later in 1917, the city has a rich history, once earning the nickname "Little Chicago" during its days as a significant boom town. This history of rapid growth was met with incredible resilience, as the community faced and rebuilt from the devastating hurricanes of 1926 and 1928.
Today, with a population of just over 1,500 residents, Moore Haven offers a close-knit, small-town atmosphere. For families in this part of Glades County, finding accessible, specialized support for children with autism can be a priority. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the challenges that can come with living in a more rural area and is dedicated to bridging the gap in care. We bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your family, eliminating the need for long-distance travel to a clinic.
Our services are designed to fit into your daily life. Our therapists can provide support in your home, in the community, or via telehealth, creating a flexible plan that meets your child's needs within their natural environment. This approach helps children learn and practice new skills in the settings where they will use them every day. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and with the clinical oversight of BCBAs like Hiram Aguilera, MCDS is committed to providing evidence-based, compassionate care to the Moore Haven community. We are proud to support families in this historic Florida city, helping children build skills and engage more fully with the world around them.
