ABA Therapy Services for Families in Lady Lake, Florida

Located in the heart of Lake County and part of the greater Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area, Lady Lake is a community with a rich history and a welcoming atmosphere for its nearly 16,000 residents. From its origins as a railroad-fueled town established around 1883 to its formal incorporation in 1925, Lady Lake has grown into a unique town, famously known as the birthplace of The Villages. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy services to support children with autism and their families throughout the Lady Lake community.

We understand that every family's needs are different. That's why we provide ABA therapy in the settings where your child lives, learns, and plays. Our in-home ABA therapy model brings our dedicated therapists directly to your doorstep in Lady Lake. This approach allows children to learn new skills in their most comfortable and natural environment, making it easier to integrate those skills into daily family routines. By working within the home, our therapists can help with communication, social skills, and behavior management in a familiar context.

Community-Centered Support in Lake County

Beyond the home, MCDS offers community-based and school-based ABA services. Whether it’s practicing social skills at a local park or collaborating with educators at your child's school, our goal is to provide consistent support across all areas of your child's life. For families interested in local history and community engagement, a trip to a landmark like the Lady Lake Historical Society Museum can even become an opportunity for learning and interaction. Our services are tailored to fit the diverse fabric of Lady Lake, which includes a growing Hispanic population. We are committed to providing culturally and linguistically competent care to every family we serve.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and with clinical oversight from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is dedicated to a family-centered philosophy. We also offer telehealth services, providing a flexible and convenient option for busy families. At MCDS, we are here to partner with you, providing the resources and support your family needs to thrive right here in Lady Lake.
