ABA therapy in Eustis

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Eustis, Florida. Known as "America's Hometown," this charming Lake County city of over 23,000 residents offers a strong sense of community and a rich history, making it a wonderful place for families to grow.

Established in the 1870s and officially incorporated in 1883, Eustis has a deep-rooted history that is celebrated today. This heritage is most famously honored through GeorgeFest, an annual festival held since 1902, recognized as the longest-running celebration of George Washington in the United States. This tradition, along with scenic local spots like the boardwalk on the shores of Lake Eustis, highlights the city's commitment to community and quality of life.

For families in Eustis managing the needs of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, MCDS provides support that fits into this hometown lifestyle. We understand that traveling for services can be a challenge, which is why we specialize in in-home and community-based ABA therapy. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you, delivering services in the familiar and comfortable setting of your own home. This approach helps children develop skills in their natural environment and allows for direct collaboration with parents and caregivers.

Our services extend beyond the home to other important community settings, including schools and local parks. With the proper coordination, our therapists can support children in their educational environment in Eustis. MCDS also offers telehealth services, providing a flexible and convenient option for consultations and supervision. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team is dedicated to providing evidence-based, compassionate care that empowers families throughout Eustis and Lake County.
