ABA therapy in Miami Springs
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Miami Springs, a city with a unique and carefully planned history in the heart of Miami-Dade County.
Founded in 1926 by aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss, Miami Springs was one of Florida's first planned communities, originally known as Country Club Estates. Its distinctive Pueblo Revival architecture, inspired by the American Southwest, gives the city a unique visual character that sets it apart. This history of thoughtful design resonates with our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Just as your city was intentionally planned, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) develop structured, individualized care plans tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each child and family.
For the more than 13,800 residents who call Miami Springs home, convenience and community are key. Nestled between Hialeah and Virginia Gardens and bordering Miami International Airport, the city lives up to its motto, "At the Heart of it All!" We understand that for busy families in such a central location, accessing consistent support for a child with autism is essential. MCDS brings compassionate ABA therapy directly to you, reducing travel stress and integrating therapeutic support into your daily life. Our services are available in your home, in your child's school (with coordination), or within the community settings where you live and play.
Whether your day involves activities near the historic Glenn H. Curtiss Mansion or navigating the routes along the Miami River and Ludlam canals, our flexible service models—including in-home, community-based, and telehealth options—are designed to fit your family’s routine. Under the guidance of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and our clinical team, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our focus is on providing culturally sensitive, evidence-based support that empowers your child to build meaningful skills in their natural environment. We are dedicated to collaborating with Miami Springs families to support their journey.
