ABA therapy in Bowling Green
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to the families of Bowling Green, a historic city in the heart of Hardee County. Settled in 1883 and officially incorporated in 1927, Bowling Green has a rich heritage rooted in Florida's citrus and phosphate mining industries. For a community with a population of just over 2,400 residents, access to specialized healthcare services can be a primary concern for families navigating an autism diagnosis.
MCDS understands the unique character of smaller, established communities like Bowling Green. We recognize that traveling long distances for therapy sessions is not always practical. That's why our service model emphasizes bringing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your family. Whether in the comfort of your home, your child's school, or within the community, our goal is to provide evidence-based support in the environments where your child lives and learns. This approach allows skills to be developed and practiced in real-world settings, which is essential for meaningful progress.
Our team, under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, is dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care. The diversity of Bowling Green is one of its strengths, and our services are designed to be culturally and linguistically responsive to meet the needs of every family we serve. By offering in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA therapy, we ensure that families in Bowling Green have flexible, consistent access to support without disrupting their daily routines.
From its historic train depot to its quiet residential streets, Bowling Green is a community with a strong sense of place. MCDS is committed to being a reliable partner for families here, providing the professional resources needed to help children with autism build essential life skills and thrive within their home community in Hardee County.
