ABA Therapy Services for Families in North Fort Myers, Florida
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is dedicated to supporting families in North Fort Myers with professional, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. As a large, unincorporated census-designated place in Lee County, North Fort Myers is a unique community with over 42,719 residents as of the 2020 Census. We understand the specific needs of families living in this expansive area, located just northwest across the Caloosahatchee River from Fort Myers proper.
Covering over 50 square miles, North Fort Myers presents distinct logistical considerations for families seeking consistent pediatric care. MCDS addresses this by bringing ABA therapy directly to you. Our in-home and community-based service model eliminates the need for families to travel to a clinic, offering support in the familiar and natural environments where children's skills can be most effectively generalized. Our therapists are accustomed to navigating the region via major thoroughfares like Interstate 75, U.S. Route 41 (North Tamiami Trail), and State Road 78 to reach households throughout the community.
Data from the 2020 census shows that while nearly 10% of residents live in rural parts of the CDP, there's also a strong suburban presence. MCDS adapts its services to fit your family’s context, whether through in-home sessions or telehealth options that provide critical support and flexibility. We are committed to serving the diverse population of North Fort Myers, which includes a growing Hispanic community that makes up nearly 10% of residents. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team values providing culturally and linguistically sensitive care.
By focusing on in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA therapy, MCDS provides consistent, individualized support that integrates into your family’s daily life. We are committed to collaborating with families in North Fort Myers, helping children and adolescents build essential skills for communication, social interaction, and independence.
