ABA therapy in Cape Coral

Welcome, Cape Coral families. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the vibrant and unique community of Cape Coral, Florida. Situated in Lee County, Cape Coral is a city unlike any other, known for its incredible network of over 400 miles of navigable waterways that define its landscape and lifestyle.

Founded in 1957 as a master-planned community on what was then known as Redfish Point, Cape Coral has experienced remarkable growth. From its incorporation in 1970 to a population of over 194,000 by the 2020 census, it has become the largest city between Tampa and Miami. We understand that living in a large, dynamic city comes with its own set of opportunities and challenges for families seeking support for children with autism spectrum disorder.

At MCDS, we recognize that convenience and consistency are key to effective ABA therapy. That's why our service models are designed to fit the lives of busy Cape Coral families. For many, our in-home ABA therapy provides a valuable resource, bringing our compassionate, evidence-based services directly to your door. This approach allows children to learn and practice new skills in their most familiar and comfortable setting.

Given the city's large geographical area, we also offer telehealth services. This flexible option provides continuity of care and support, connecting your family with our skilled therapists from anywhere with an internet connection. Additionally, our community-based sessions focus on applying skills in real-world environments that your family frequents, whether it's a local park or another community setting.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing accessible and culturally sensitive ABA services. We work collaboratively with each family to create individualized therapy plans that address their specific needs and goals. If your family is in Cape Coral and seeking information about Applied Behavior Analysis, we invite you to reach out to MCDS to learn more about our approach.
