ABA therapy in Dr. Phillips
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve families in our clinical team, an unincorporated Orange County community with a rich history and a vibrant present. Named for the pioneering citrus magnate Philip Phillips, this area has grown from expansive orange groves into a thriving suburb of Orlando with a population of over 12,300 residents.
For families in our clinical team, life is often centered around its excellent schools and community spaces. Children in the area are served by Orange County Public Schools, attending institutions like our clinical team, Bay Meadows Elementary, Southwest Middle School, and the well-regarded our clinical team School. The community's landscape is defined by beautiful natural features, including the Sand Lake Chain of lakes and the nearby Turkey Lake Park, offering numerous opportunities for family recreation. This blend of strong educational foundations and an active, outdoor lifestyle makes our clinical team a desirable place for families to live and grow.
We at MCDS understand that balancing school, activities, and therapeutic support can be challenging. That is why we provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where your child lives and learns. Our services are not confined to a clinic; instead, our therapists come to your home in neighborhoods like Sand Lake Hills or Orange Tree. We also offer school-based support within OCPS, pending approvals, and telehealth services for added flexibility.
This in-home and community-focused approach helps children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) develop crucial skills in their natural settings, making learning more effective and meaningful. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team is dedicated to collaborating with our clinical team families. We create individualized therapy plans that align with your family's routines and goals, ensuring that support is integrated seamlessly into your daily life. Our commitment is to provide accessible, evidence-based care to the children and families of the our clinical team community.
