Supporting Families in Pinecrest with Personalized ABA Therapy
Nestled in Miami-Dade County, the Village of Pinecrest is a community defined by its lush landscapes, spacious residential properties, and a deep commitment to high-quality local services. Incorporated in 1996 following a resident-led movement, this suburban village of over 18,300 people has a history of proactive community-building. This spirit of self-determination, particularly after the rebuilding efforts following Hurricane Andrew in 1992, makes Pinecrest a unique and resilient place for families to live and grow.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families throughout Pinecrest by providing accessible and individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. We understand that the foundation of this community was built on a desire for excellent, localized services, and we mirror that commitment in our approach to care. Our services are designed to meet families where they are, whether it's in the comfort of the large, ranch-style homes that characterize the village or out in the community's beautiful public spaces.
The history of Pinecrest is embedded in its famous landmarks, most notably the site of the former Parrot Jungle, which the village thoughtfully redeveloped into the magnificent Pinecrest Gardens. This treasured municipal park provides a wonderful environment for community-based ABA therapy, allowing children to practice social skills, communication, and functional routines in a natural and engaging setting. By integrating therapy into familiar local environments, we help children generalize skills learned at home into their everyday world.
At MCDS, our goal is to provide flexible support that fits the lives of Pinecrest families. We offer in-home therapy that utilizes the unique setting of your home to foster development, as well as convenient telehealth services to accommodate busy schedules. Our team, under the leadership of professionals like Executive Director Damaris Baez and Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, is dedicated to collaborating with families to create a supportive framework for their child's development. We are committed to serving the needs of the Pinecrest community with compassion and clinical expertise.
