ABA therapy in Mount Dora
Known as the “Festival City,” Mount Dora offers families a unique blend of historic charm and vibrant community life. Situated on a plateau 184 feet above sea level and overlooking the scenic shores of Lake Dora, this Lake County city combines its rich past with a forward-looking vision. MCDS is proud to provide compassionate and individualized ABA therapy services to families throughout the Mount Dora area.
Founded in 1880 and officially chartered in 1910, Mount Dora has grown from a small settlement into a bustling city of over 16,000 residents. Its character is preserved in the Mount Dora Historic District, where antique shops and landmarks like the Lakeside Inn create a welcoming, small-town atmosphere. For families living in these historic neighborhoods, or anywhere in Mount Dora, MCDS offers the convenience of in-home ABA therapy. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) work with your child in their natural environment, creating a comfortable and effective setting for learning and development.
We understand that life in the “Festival City” can be busy. MCDS provides flexible care options, including telehealth and community-based sessions, designed to fit your family’s schedule. Whether it's developing social skills at a local park or working on daily living routines at home, our therapy is integrated into your real-world activities. As Mount Dora continues to grow, particularly with the development of the Wolf Branch Innovation District, we are committed to supporting new and established families alike.
Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team at MCDS is dedicated to providing accessible, multicultural, and multilingual support. We believe in building strong partnerships with families to help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) build essential skills. We invite Mount Dora families to learn how our personalized ABA therapy programs can support your child’s journey.
