ABA therapy in Cutler Bay
Situated in southern Miami-Dade County, the Town of Cutler Bay is a community defined by its coastal proximity to Biscayne Bay and a remarkable story of resilience. For families navigating the journey of autism spectrum disorder, MCDS provides compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy services right where you live, work, and play.
Cutler Bay has a unique history. While the area, formerly known as Cutler Ridge, has roots stretching back to the 1800s, its modern identity was forged in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The storm caused widespread devastation, but it also catalyzed a community movement. The effort to rebuild spurred residents to seek incorporation, officially establishing the Town of Cutler Bay in 2005. This spirit of rebuilding and forging a new future resonates deeply with families who partner with ABA therapists to build foundational skills for their children.
Today, this town of over 45,000 people is a thriving suburban community. MCDS understands that for families in Cutler Bay, convenience and consistency are key. Our ABA therapy services are not confined to a clinic. We meet your family in the environments that are most natural and comfortable for your child—whether it's in your home, at their school, or in the community. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) design individualized programs that can be integrated into your daily life, turning everyday activities into learning opportunities.
We believe that effective therapy shouldn't add to the stress of managing traffic on U.S. 1 or Florida's Turnpike. By bringing support directly to your doorstep, we help your child generalize skills in the real-world settings they encounter every day. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing supportive and accessible care to the diverse families of Cutler Bay. We partner with you to help your child develop communication, social, and adaptive living skills.
