ABA therapy in Miami

Welcome to Miami, the vibrant heart of Miami-Dade County and a global hub known as the 'Magic City.' Incorporated in 1896, Miami is a dynamic city of over 442,000 residents, celebrated for its rich cultural tapestry and iconic neighborhoods. From the artistic energy of the Wynwood Art District to the historic streets of Little Havana, Miami offers a unique and diverse environment for families. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the Miami community by providing accessible and personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

Living in a bustling metropolitan area like Miami presents unique opportunities and challenges. The fast pace of life in neighborhoods like Downtown Miami can make scheduling appointments difficult. MCDS understands this, which is why we specialize in in-home ABA therapy. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and technicians come directly to your home, whether you live in a single-family house or a high-rise condominium, offering services that fit into your family’s routine. We also provide telehealth services, giving families a flexible option for receiving consistent support.

Beyond the home, we believe in helping children build skills in the environments where they will use them most. Our community-based therapy model embraces the city's landmarks and public spaces. A therapist could work with your child on social skills during an outing near Bayside Marketplace or practice functional communication at a local park. This approach helps children generalize their learning to real-world settings, making therapy more effective and meaningful. As a city nicknamed the 'Gateway to the Americas,' Miami is home to a diverse, multicultural population. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing culturally sensitive care that respects the values and linguistic needs of every family we serve. We are dedicated to supporting Miami families with individualized ABA therapy that honors their unique journey.
