ABA Therapy Services for Families in Temple Terrace, Florida
Welcome to Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS), a trusted provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for families in Temple Terrace and across Hillsborough County. Incorporated in 1925, Temple Terrace is a city with a distinguished history and a unique character, known for its rolling landscape, bucolic Hillsborough River views, and beautiful sand live oak trees that have earned it the "Tree City USA" designation.
For the more than 26,000 residents who call this amazing city home, MCDS offers compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy that fits into your family's life. We understand that life in "The Terrace" is rooted in community and a connection to the area's natural beauty. That's why our services are designed to be flexible, offering support not just at home but also in the community settings where your child learns and grows. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) can incorporate local landmarks like Riverhills Park or Woodmont Park into therapy sessions, providing opportunities to practice new skills in real-world environments.
Our service models include:
- In-Home ABA Therapy: We bring structured therapy sessions to the comfort and privacy of your home, creating a convenient and effective learning environment tailored to your child’s needs and your family's routine.
- Community-Based ABA: We extend learning beyond the home, helping children generalize skills in public settings that are part of your Temple Terrace life, from local parks to community centers.
- Telehealth Services: For families needing additional flexibility, our secure telehealth platform provides access to consistent, high-quality ABA therapy and parent training from anywhere with an internet connection.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to providing supportive and individualized care. We partner with Temple Terrace families to develop personalized treatment plans that address each child's unique strengths and challenges. Our goal is to empower children with autism and support their families within the beautiful, historic community of Temple Terrace.
