ABA therapy in Leesburg
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Leesburg, Florida. Located in the heart of Lake County, between the scenic shores of Lake Harris and Lake Griffin, Leesburg is a community with a rich history and a dynamic future.
Since its incorporation in 1875, Leesburg has evolved from a historic center for watermelon production to a thriving city with a 2020 population of 27,000. Today, its growth is fueled by its appeal as a retirement haven and a convenient residential base for those commuting to Orlando. This blend of long-time residents and new families creates a diverse community with unique needs. MCDS is dedicated to supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families within this distinctive Leesburg environment.
Our service model is built on flexibility and accessibility, recognizing the lifestyles of Leesburg families. We provide ABA therapy directly in your home, at school, or in community settings. For a family living near the historic Venetian Gardens, therapy sessions can incorporate practicing social and communication skills in a beautiful, real-world park setting. This in-community approach helps children generalize skills learned in therapy to their everyday lives. We also offer telehealth services, a convenient option for busy families juggling work, school, and other commitments, reducing travel time and scheduling stress.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS focuses on creating individualized therapy plans that align with each child's specific needs. Whether your family has lived in Lake County for generations or recently moved to be closer to Orlando, our goal is to provide consistent, compassionate care. By bringing ABA therapy into the natural environments where children learn and grow, we partner with Leesburg families to build foundational skills and foster independence.
