ABA therapy in Brooksville

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer dedicated ABA therapy services to families in Brooksville, Florida. As the historic county seat of Hernando County, Brooksville is a community with deep roots, reflected in its beautiful historic buildings like the Hernando County Courthouse and the May-Stringer House. With a population of just under 9,000 as of the 2020 census, Brooksville maintains a close-knit feel while serving as a key center for the wider county.

Established through the merger of the early settlements of Melendez and Pierceville and officially incorporated as a city in 1880, Brooksville has a long and storied past. MCDS understands that families in such a well-established community deserve healthcare that is both effective and respectful of their home environment. Our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is designed to integrate seamlessly into the lives of Brooksville families, providing support where it is most needed.

Our services are built on a foundation of flexibility and accessibility:

  • In-Home ABA Therapy: We bring evidence-based therapy directly to your Brooksville home. This allows children to learn and develop skills in their most comfortable and familiar setting, making the process more natural for the entire family.

  • Community-Based Services: We can extend therapy sessions to locations within the Brooksville community, helping children practice social and functional skills in real-world environments.

  • Telehealth ABA Therapy: For families in Brooksville and the surrounding areas of Hernando County, telehealth offers a convenient and effective way to receive consistent support and parent training without the requirement of travel.

At MCDS, we believe in empowering families with the tools and strategies they need to support their children. Under the guidance of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, our team is committed to providing compassionate, individualized care that honors the unique fabric of the Brooksville community.
