ABA therapy in North Miami Beach
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) proudly serves families in North Miami Beach, a city with a rich history and a forward-looking community. With a population of over 43,000 residents, NMB is a cornerstone of the greater Miami metropolitan area, guided by its thoughtful motto, "Where People Care."
Originally settled as Fulford-by-the-Sea, the city was shaped by the ambitious developments of the early 20th century, including a massive wooden auto racetrack that was famously destroyed by the 1926 Miami hurricane. In the wake of that storm, residents banded together, and the city was officially incorporated as the City of North Miami Beach in 1931. Today, it stands as a vibrant residential and commercial hub, conveniently located between Fort Lauderdale and downtown Miami, with major arteries like U.S. Route 1 (Biscayne Boulevard) and I-95 running through it.
