ABA therapy in Clewiston
Located on the southern bank of Lake Okeechobee, Clewiston is a unique Hendry County city known as "America's Sweetest Town." Incorporated in 1925, this community of over 7,300 residents has deep roots in Florida's agricultural heritage, particularly sugarcane cultivation, citrus, and cattle. For families living and working in this distinct part of the Florida Heartland, life moves at a different pace, grounded in community and the area's natural beauty.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that families in communities like Clewiston need access to quality autism services without the burden of traveling to larger metropolitan centers. We are dedicated to providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that fits into your family’s life. Our approach focuses on delivering compassionate, evidence-based care directly in the settings where your child is most comfortable and spends the most time: at home, in the community, or at school.
By offering in-home and school-based ABA therapy, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) collaborate with your family to create individualized programs. This community-based model helps children and teens develop crucial communication, social, and daily living skills within their familiar surroundings. Whether your child is learning at home or you're seeking support for them in their local school, our team works to integrate therapy into their daily routine. For added flexibility, we also provide telehealth services, ensuring consistent support is always within reach.
"Our mission is to extend our services to every family in need, regardless of their location," says Damaris Baez, Executive Director of MCDS. "For communities like Clewiston, that means bringing professional ABA therapy to your doorstep, helping your child build independence and engage more fully with the world around them."
