MCDS (Multicultural Development Services Center) understands the specific needs of communities like Taylor Creek and is dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.
Our services are designed to meet families where they are. Instead of requiring travel to a clinic, MCDS provides in-home, in-school, and community-based ABA therapy. This approach is particularly beneficial for families in the Taylor Creek area, allowing children to develop critical skills in the familiar and comfortable settings of their own home, school, and community. A BCBA, such as Hiram Aguilera, will collaborate with your family to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your child's specific needs and goals.
The history of Taylor Creek, from its role as a meeting site for the Seminole in 1855 to its settlement in the late 1890s, underscores its long-standing importance in the region. Today, MCDS honors the community's diverse fabric, including its 11.6% Hispanic or Latino population, by offering bilingual services in English and Spanish. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our mission is to ensure that every family has access to culturally sensitive and compassionate care.
