ABA therapy in Cudjoe Key
Cudjoe Key, a distinctive unincorporated community in Monroe County, offers a unique island setting for its 2,019 residents. Situated in the lower Florida Keys and connected by the essential Overseas Highway, life here is defined by the surrounding waters of Cudjoe Bay and the Atlantic. For families in Cudjoe Key raising children with autism, accessing consistent and specialized care can present logistical challenges. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the realities of life in the Keys and provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to families in their natural environments.
Our approach is designed to fit the fabric of your life in Cudjoe Key. Instead of requiring families to travel along U.S. 1 to larger centers, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) deliver services in-home, in schools, and within the community. This method allows children to learn and practice new skills in the settings where they will use them most. Whether your child attends school locally or spends time exploring the community, our team integrates therapy into their daily routine. The resilience of the Cudjoe Key community, notably demonstrated after the direct hit from Hurricane Irma in 2017, highlights the importance of stable, accessible support systems.
Recognizing the distinct landmarks of the area, like the Cudjoe Key Air Force Station and its famous “Fat Albert” aerostat, MCDS is committed to serving all families, including military personnel stationed here. We also offer telehealth services, a vital resource for island communities, ensuring continuity of care regardless of weather or travel constraints. Our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and our clinical team led by Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, are dedicated to providing family-centered support that respects the specific needs and lifestyle of the Cudjoe Key community. We partner with families to create individualized ABA therapy plans that support growth and development within this beautiful but remote part of South Florida.
