ABA therapy in Sebring

Located in the heart of the Florida Heartland, Sebring offers a unique blend of history, recreation, and community life. As the county seat of Highlands County and famously known as "The City on the Circle," Sebring was founded in 1912 with a distinct circular plan that still defines its historic downtown. For families in this community, Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) provides accessible and flexible Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that fits into the fabric of daily life in Sebring.

We understand that while the city of Sebring has a population of just over 11,000 residents, the broader metropolitan area is home to over 100,000 people, with many families living in unincorporated parts of Highlands County. This geographic distribution can make consistent travel to a therapy center a significant challenge. MCDS addresses this by bringing high-quality, evidence-based ABA therapy directly to your home. Our in-home services eliminate long commutes, allowing your child to learn and grow in their most natural and comfortable environment.

Sebring's rich local environment also provides wonderful opportunities for community-based therapy. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) might work with your child on social and safety skills during a walk through the Sebring Downtown Historic District or on the shores of Lake Jackson. Outings to Florida's first state park, the nearby Highlands Hammock State Park, can serve as valuable sessions for generalizing skills in a real-world, natural setting. These community-based approaches help children apply what they've learned in practical ways.

Whether your family lives near the hum of the Sebring International Raceway or in a quieter part of the county, our services are designed to be adaptable. In addition to in-person support, we offer telehealth services that provide a convenient way to connect with your therapy team, receive guidance, and ensure continuity of care. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to supporting Sebring families with individualized care plans that respect their unique needs and routines.
