ABA therapy in Key West
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Key West, the southernmost city in the continental United States. As a unique island community in Monroe County, with a 2020 population of 26,444, Key West presents a distinct living environment. We understand that for families living on an island just four miles long and one mile wide, convenient access to specialized services like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is essential.
Our service model is designed to fit the island lifestyle of Key West families. Rather than requiring you to travel for appointments, MCDS brings ABA therapy directly to you through in-home, in-school, and community-based services. This approach is particularly helpful for families spread across the islands that constitute the city, from the northern part of Stock Island to Sunset Key. We focus on integrating therapeutic strategies into your child’s daily life, helping them build functional skills in the familiar settings where they live, learn, and play.
Key West’s motto, “One Human Family,” resonates with our mission to provide compassionate, culturally sensitive care to all families. Whether your daily routine involves walks near the Key West Lighthouse or activities in your local neighborhood, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists can work with you to create a personalized therapy plan. Community-based sessions can help children and teens practice social, communication, and safety skills in real-world settings.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and with clinical guidance from professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing accessible support. We also offer telehealth services, providing a flexible option that overcomes geographical barriers and ensures consistent care. For families in Key West seeking ABA therapy that understands and adapts to their unique environment, MCDS offers a supportive and flexible path forward.
