ABA therapy in Indian Creek
In the heart of Miami-Dade County lies one of Florida's most unique municipalities: the Village of Indian Creek. This private, man-made barrier island, known colloquially as the "Billionaire Bunker," is a community defined by its exclusivity, privacy, and serene setting on Biscayne Bay. With a population of just 84 residents as of the 2020 census and only 41 residential home sites, Indian Creek offers an unparalleled standard of living for its families.
Incorporated in 1939, the village was developed from a mangrove forest into an exclusive enclave centered around the prestigious Indian Creek Country Club. The entire community is accessible by a single, guarded bridge from the neighboring town of Surfside, ensuring the utmost privacy and security for its residents. For families within this tightly-knit community seeking support for a child with autism spectrum disorder, finding services that respect this need for discretion and convenience is paramount.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the unique lifestyle of Indian Creek families. We provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that comes directly to you, eliminating the need to travel off the island for appointments. Our services are delivered in the comfort, security, and familiarity of your own home—the natural environment where skills can be most effectively learned and generalized. This in-home model allows our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to work collaboratively with your family, integrating therapeutic strategies into your daily routines.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to a family-centered approach. We empower parents and caregivers with the tools and training to support their child's development, fostering progress within the private sanctuary of your own residence. For those who prefer or require a different modality, we also offer secure, confidential telehealth services, providing expert guidance and support with maximum flexibility. Our goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that aligns seamlessly with the private and distinguished character of the Indian Creek community.
