MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Jensen Beach, Martin County.

ABA therapy in Jensen Beach

Located in the northeast corner of Martin County, Jensen Beach is a vibrant community with a rich history and a deep connection to its natural surroundings. With a 2020 population of 12,652, this census-designated place offers a unique blend of historical charm and coastal living along the Indian River Lagoon. Once known as the "Pineapple Capital of the World," Jensen Beach proudly celebrates its agricultural roots with the annual Jensen Beach Pineapple Festival, a testament to the town's resilient spirit after freezes and fires reshaped its primary industry in the early 20th century.

For families in Jensen Beach raising children with autism spectrum disorder, the community's character presents both opportunities and unique considerations. The active, outdoor-focused lifestyle, with access to landmarks like Jensen Sea Turtle Beach, is a wonderful part of local life. However, navigating community events or new environments can require specialized support. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the needs of families in unincorporated communities and provides flexible, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy designed to fit your life.

Our approach is not about changing who your child is, but about providing tools to help them thrive. MCDS offers services directly in your home, creating a familiar and consistent setting for learning. For families wishing to help their children generalize skills, our community-based therapy can take place in natural environments. Telehealth services are also available, offering a convenient option for busy schedules and ensuring continuity of care, a crucial factor in a region that has faced disruptions from hurricanes like Frances and Jeanne in 2004.

As a dedicated provider serving Martin County, MCDS is committed to supporting Jensen Beach families. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team works collaboratively with you to develop individualized care plans. We invite you to learn how our in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA services can support your family's journey.
