ABA therapy in Surfside
For families in Surfside, a town within Miami-Dade County, finding accessible and compassionate support for a child with autism spectrum disorder is a key priority. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that every family's journey is unique and that support should adapt to your specific circumstances, not the other way around. Our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy focuses on providing services where they are most effective and comfortable for your child—whether that's in your own home, in the community, or via telehealth.
In a close-knit community environment, MCDS emphasizes a collaborative model. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) work directly with parents and caregivers, empowering you with the tools and strategies to support your child's development. This learning happens in familiar settings, using daily routines as opportunities for growth. This in-home and community-based service model is designed to be flexible, reducing travel burdens on busy families and helping children generalize skills in the environments where they live and play.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and with clinical guidance from professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is dedicated to providing individualized care plans. We recognize the importance of integrating therapy seamlessly into your family's life. By bringing ABA services directly to Surfside families, MCDS aims to be a trusted partner in your child's developmental journey.
