ABA therapy in Fort Drum
For families in Fort Drum and across Okeechobee County, finding accessible and effective support for a child with autism spectrum disorder is a primary concern. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is committed to bridging the gap in services by delivering high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your family in the environments where you live, learn, and play.
Understanding the unique needs of communities like Fort Drum, our service model is built on flexibility and personalization. We specialize in providing in-home ABA therapy, a method that allows our therapists to work with your child in their most natural and comfortable setting. This approach helps children develop crucial skills in the context of their daily routines, facilitating better generalization of learned behaviors. It also offers unparalleled convenience for parents and caregivers, eliminating the time and stress associated with traveling to a clinical center for appointments.
In addition to in-home sessions, MCDS offers telehealth ABA therapy. This virtual option provides families in Okeechobee County with consistent access to our team of professionals, including direct therapy and vital parent training, regardless of distance. Telehealth ensures that therapy can continue without interruption and empowers parents with the strategies and confidence to support their child’s progress every day.
Every child's journey is unique. Under the leadership of professionals like our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical supervisors such as Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team designs individualized therapy plans. These plans are tailored to meet your child's specific goals and your family’s values. We collaborate closely with you to build skills in communication, social interaction, and daily living, fostering greater independence.
