ABA therapy in Biscayne Park
The Village of Biscayne Park offers a unique, close-knit community atmosphere within the broader Miami metropolitan area. With a population of just over 3,100 residents, this Miami-Dade County village maintains a distinct identity rooted in its history. Originally developed in the 1920s and officially incorporated as a town in 1931, Biscayne Park has cultivated a serene, residential character that appeals to families seeking a quieter pace of life.
The village's geography is well-defined, bordered by neighbors like North Miami and Miami Shores, with the Biscayne Canal shaping its southwest edge. This contained, community-focused environment is evident in landmarks like the historic Village Hall Log Cabin, which serves as a central hub for village meetings and events, reinforcing its small-town feel.
For families in Biscayne Park raising children with autism spectrum disorder, this local setting presents both opportunities and challenges. While the community is familiar and navigable, accessing specialized services can sometimes mean traveling outside the village. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) addresses this by providing high-quality, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to families in their homes and community settings. Our service model is designed to fit seamlessly into the lives of Biscayne Park residents.
With 21% of the local population under the age of 18, MCDS understands the need for accessible, family-centered support. Our in-home and telehealth ABA therapy services eliminate the need for stressful commutes, allowing our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists to work with your child in their most natural and comfortable environment. This approach helps children develop functional life skills where they will use them most. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our skilled clinical team, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to providing compassionate and individualized care that respects the unique fabric of communities like Biscayne Park.
