ABA Therapy Services in Seffner, Florida

Located in Hillsborough County, just 13 miles east of downtown Tampa, Seffner is a community that blends its rural heritage with dynamic suburban growth. Home to over 8,300 residents as of the 2020 census, Seffner is known for its landscape of towering live oak trees, local strawberry farms, and serene lakes, which now exist alongside expanding housing subdivisions. This unique mix of country and suburban living creates a distinct environment for families seeking support for children with autism.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the needs of families in communities like Seffner. The area's history is rooted in its role as a key shipping center along the South Florida Railroad, alongside Mango and Dover. While the community has grown significantly from its early days, that spirit of a distinct, self-reliant town remains. For families here, accessing consistent, high-quality healthcare services without a long commute to Tampa is essential. Our commitment is to bridge that gap by providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in your home, school, or community settings.

Our in-home and telehealth ABA therapy services are designed to fit the routines of Seffner families. Instead of requiring you to travel to a center, our therapists come to you, delivering support in the environment where your child is most comfortable. This approach is particularly beneficial in a community with both established rural properties and new developments. Whether your child needs support with social skills at a local park or communication skills at home, our team works to integrate therapeutic strategies into their daily life. MCDS provides services throughout Hillsborough County, ensuring that families from Thonotosassa to Brandon have access to care.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to providing accessible and culturally sensitive support. We collaborate with families and local schools in Seffner to help children build foundational skills. By bringing ABA therapy into the natural settings of your life, we aim to support your family's journey right here in the Seffner community.
