ABA therapy in Sun City Center
Located in southern Hillsborough County, Sun City Center is a unique community situated conveniently between Tampa and Sarasota along Interstate 75. Founded in 1961, the area has grown significantly, with a 2020 census population of over 30,000 residents. While known as an age-restricted community, Sun City Center is surrounded by growing towns like Ruskin, Wimauma, and Apollo Beach, where many families with children reside.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the needs of families throughout this part of Hillsborough County. For parents and caregivers seeking Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, geographic barriers should not limit access to care. Our commitment is to bring evidence-based ABA services directly to your family, whether you live in a neighboring community or are a grandparent in Sun City Center involved in your grandchild's care. The accessibility of major roadways like I-75 and U.S. Route 301 allows our therapists to efficiently serve a wide area.
Our service model is designed for the modern family's needs. We provide in-home ABA therapy, which allows children to learn and develop skills in their most comfortable and natural environment. We also offer community-based services, collaborating with families to work on social and functional skills in real-world settings. For families in the greater Sun City Center area, this means less time commuting to a clinic in Tampa and more time focused on progress. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to delivering compassionate and individualized support. We work with families to create a therapy plan that fits their specific goals and daily routines, making quality autism services a convenient and integrated part of life in southern Hillsborough County.
