ABA therapy in Estero
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in the Village of Estero, Florida. Situated in the heart of Lee County between Fort Myers and Naples, Estero is a dynamic and growing community with a unique history and a focus on family life. As a village that only officially incorporated in 2014, Estero has developed a distinct identity, balancing its rich past, seen at landmarks like the Koreshan State Historic Site, with modern amenities like Hertz Arena and the adjacent Florida Gulf Coast University.
For the more than 36,000 residents of Estero, life can be full of activity. MCDS understands that navigating daily responsibilities while seeking support for a child with autism spectrum disorder can be challenging. Our goal is to make professional ABA therapy accessible and convenient by integrating our services directly into your family's routine. We provide support where it's most effective: in your home, community, and via telehealth.
Our in-home ABA therapy brings our dedicated practitioners to you, eliminating the need for frequent travel and allowing children to learn and practice new skills in their most familiar environment. For families wanting to generalize skills, our community-based sessions can take place, with parental consent, in local settings like Estero Bay Preserve State Park. These outings provide valuable opportunities for children to apply what they've learned in a real-world context.
Furthermore, MCDS offers telehealth services, providing a flexible option for busy Estero families. This allows for consistent support and parent training that can fit around work, school, and other commitments. Under the leadership of Damaris Baez, Executive Director, and Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that respects the needs and values of each family we serve in the Estero community.
