ABA therapy in Lake Buena Vista

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to families in and around Lake Buena Vista, a city globally recognized as the mailing address for Walt Disney World. Located in the heart of Orange County, Lake Buena Vista has a unique community profile. While the 2020 census noted a permanent residential population of just 24, the city is a vital hub within the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area, home to destinations like Disney Springs.

For the families residing in the communities surrounding this bustling center, MCDS understands that daily life comes with its own set of demands. Navigating the logistics of specialized care in a high-traffic tourist area can be challenging. That's why our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is centered on flexibility and accessibility. We bring our services directly to you, offering in-home ABA therapy that allows children to learn and develop skills in their most natural and comfortable environment. This model removes the stress of travel and allows our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to integrate therapeutic strategies into your family's daily routines.

In addition to home-based services, we provide telehealth ABA therapy, a convenient option that offers families a flexible way to connect with our clinical team. This service is particularly valuable for busy parents and for providing consistent support. Whether your family lives near the vibrant Disney Springs area or in a quieter neighborhood nearby, our goal is to provide steadfast, compassionate support. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and BCBA Hiram Aguilera, MCDS is committed to empowering families throughout the Lake Buena Vista area with accessible, evidence-based autism services.
