ABA therapy in Bal Harbour
Situated between the Atlantic and Biscayne Bay, the Village of Bal Harbour is a thoughtfully designed community within Miami-Dade County. Since its incorporation in 1946, Bal Harbour has maintained a reputation for exclusivity and careful planning—it was notably the first planned community in Florida to have all its utilities placed underground. With a population of just over 3,000 residents as of 2020, the village offers a close-knit and sophisticated environment for families.
Life in Bal Harbour is shaped by its iconic landmarks, from the luxury of the Bal Harbour Shops to the scenic drives along a beautifully landscaped Collins Avenue. For families in this unique village, managing the schedule of a child with an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis requires support that is both high-quality and flexible. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the need for services that integrate seamlessly into your family's lifestyle.
We specialize in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in your home, at school, or within the community. This approach eliminates the need for stressful travel to a clinic, allowing therapy to occur in the child's most natural and comfortable setting. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) focus on developing individualized treatment plans that address communication, social skills, and daily living goals in a familiar context.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to a collaborative approach. We work closely with parents and caregivers in Bal Harbour, empowering them with strategies to support their child's progress. Whether your child would benefit from practicing new skills at home or during a community outing, our services are designed to be as dynamic as the families we serve. Contact MCDS to learn how our in-home and telehealth ABA therapy services can support your family's journey in Bal Harbour.
