ABA therapy in Westchase
Located in northwestern Hillsborough County, Westchase is a large, master-planned community known for its family-friendly environment and convenient location between Tampa and Palm Harbor. Established in 1991, this census-designated place has grown into a thriving suburban hub with a population of over 25,952 as of the 2020 Census. For families navigating the journey of an autism diagnosis, Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) offers compassionate and accessible ABA therapy tailored to the unique lifestyle of the Westchase community.
Westchase is distinguished by its organization into 28 distinct deed-restricted villages, fostering a close-knit neighborhood atmosphere. With nearly a quarter of the population under the age of 18, the need for supportive, child-focused services is clear. MCDS meets this need by providing in-home ABA therapy, bringing evidence-based strategies directly to your doorstep. This approach allows children to learn and practice new skills in their most natural and comfortable setting, eliminating the stress and time commitment of traveling to a clinic. Our therapists work with your family to integrate therapeutic goals into your daily routines, creating a consistent support system.
The community's design includes ample recreational amenities, such as the Westchase Golf Course, reflecting a focus on quality of life. MCDS embraces this by offering community-based therapy sessions, helping children generalize social and communication skills in real-world settings. Furthermore, we recognize the diverse fabric of Westchase, where the 2020 Census noted that 18.1% of residents are Hispanic or Latino and 12.1% are Asian. Our commitment to multicultural and bilingual services ensures that every family feels understood and respected. We proudly offer therapy in both English and Spanish.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and supervising BCBA Hiram Aguilera, MCDS is dedicated to providing flexible and culturally competent care. Whether through in-home sessions, telehealth appointments, or community outings, our goal is to empower Westchase families with the tools and support they need.
