ABA therapy in Bonita Springs

Welcome to Bonita Springs, a thriving Lee County city known as the “Gateway to the Gulf.” With its unique motto, “Small Town Charm, Big Bright Future,” Bonita Springs balances its rich history with steady growth, making it a wonderful place for families to live and grow. The city’s population grew to over 53,600 by 2020, reflecting its appeal to new residents drawn to its beautiful natural surroundings and strong community fabric. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to provide compassionate and individualized ABA therapy services to families throughout the Bonita Springs community.

Originally a small settlement called Survey in the late 1800s, the city reincorporated in 1999 and has since blossomed. The Imperial River winds through the downtown district, and the stunning shores of Bonita Beach line the Gulf of Mexico, offering families countless opportunities for recreation and connection. We understand that for families of children with autism spectrum disorder, integrating therapy into daily life is key. Our community-based ABA therapy approach allows for learning and skill-building in the natural environments your child encounters every day, from local parks to community outings.

At MCDS, we recognize that every family's schedule and needs are different. That’s why we offer flexible ABA therapy models designed for the lifestyles of Bonita Springs families. Our in-home ABA therapy brings our dedicated therapists to you, creating a comfortable and consistent learning environment. For families who need a more adaptable option, our telehealth services provide high-quality support remotely. We also collaborate with local schools to provide school-based services, helping children navigate the academic and social environment.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our clinical team including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to being a trusted resource for families in Bonita Springs and greater Lee County. Our goal is to provide accessible, evidence-based support that empowers children and their families. We partner with you to develop strategies that align with your child’s unique strengths and goals, fostering skills within your own home and community.
