ABA Therapy Services in Cypress Quarters, Florida
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy services to families in Cypress Quarters, an unincorporated community in Okeechobee County. With a close-knit population of just over 1,000 residents as of the 2020 census, we understand the importance of accessible, individualized support that respects the unique character of your community.
Cypress Quarters is a community rich in family life. Census data from 2020 shows that more than a quarter of the population (26.6%) is under the age of 18, and over a third of all households include children. MCDS is dedicated to supporting these families by providing evidence-based ABA therapy that is tailored to each child's specific needs. Our services are designed to help children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder develop communication, social, and daily living skills in a supportive setting.
Recognizing the diverse fabric of Cypress Quarters, where residents come from Black or African American, White, and Hispanic/Latino backgrounds, our team is committed to delivering culturally and linguistically sensitive care. We believe that effective therapy involves understanding and respecting the family's values and home environment. Our flexible service models are designed to meet families where they are.
We offer several convenient options for families in the area:
- In-Home ABA Therapy: Our therapists can come directly to your home, providing services in the environment where your child is most comfortable. This approach helps generalize skills to everyday routines and family life.
- School-Based Support: For children attending schools within the Okeechobee County School District, our BCBAs can collaborate with educators to create a consistent support system across home and school settings, pending district approval.
- Telehealth Services: For added flexibility, we offer ABA therapy via telehealth, connecting your family with our clinical team remotely. This can be a valuable option for busy schedules or to supplement in-person sessions.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our clinical team, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to being a reliable resource for the Cypress Quarters community. We work to empower parents and caregivers with strategies to support their child’s progress and enhance the entire family's quality of life.
