ABA Therapy Services in Islamorada, Village of Islands

Known as the "Village of Islands," Islamorada is a unique community in Monroe County, spread across five distinct islands: Tea Table Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Windley Key, and Plantation Key. For the more than 7,100 residents who call this tropical paradise home, life is defined by the water and the vital Overseas Highway that connects them. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the specific needs of families in this beautiful but geographically dispersed area, offering accessible ABA therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Living in Islamorada, situated between Miami and Key West, means that accessing consistent, specialized healthcare services can be a challenge. Long drives and logistical hurdles can add stress for families who are already navigating the needs of a child with developmental differences. MCDS removes these barriers by bringing evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your family's natural environment. Our model is built on providing services in the home, school, or community settings where your child learns and grows every day.

Whether your family resides on Plantation Key or Lower Matecumbe Key, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you. This in-home and community-based approach allows for the development of personalized therapy plans that address real-world goals and skills. Rather than learning in a clinical setting, your child can practice communication, social skills, and daily living routines right where they matter most. We also offer telehealth services to provide additional support and flexibility for busy Keys families.

Under the guidance of our leadership, including BCBA Hiram Aguilera, MCDS is dedicated to becoming an integral part of the Islamorada community. We recognize the resilience of this village, which incorporated in 1997 and is home to landmarks like the Florida Keys Memorial. We aim to provide that same level of dedicated support to every family we serve. Contact MCDS today to learn how our ABA therapy services can support your child's journey in Islamorada.

Questions from Islamorada families

Yes. Our services are designed for communities like the Village of Islands. We provide in-home and community-based ABA therapy, meaning our clinicians travel to you on Tea Table Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Windley Key, and Plantation Key.
My child's school is in Islamorada. Can therapy be provided there?
MCDS works collaboratively with families and schools to provide support where it's needed. ABA therapy can often be integrated into a school setting, pending approval from the school administration, to help with social skills and classroom routines.
Living in the Keys means we are far from major cities. How does MCDS make ABA therapy accessible for families in Islamorada?
Our care model is centered on bringing services directly to our families. By providing in-home, community-based, and telehealth ABA therapy sessions, we eliminate the need for families in Islamorada to travel long distances along the Overseas Highway for consistent, high-quality support.
