ABA Therapy in Maitland, FL

MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Maitland, Orange County.

ABA therapy in Maitland

As one of the oldest incorporated suburban municipalities in central Florida, Maitland offers a unique blend of rich history and modern family life. Located in Orange County and incorporated as a town in 1885, this city of over 19,500 residents is known for its motto, "A Community For Life." With streets lined by large oaks and a landscape dotted with 21 lakes, Maitland provides a serene setting for families seeking support for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the Maitland community, recognizing that each family's needs are as unique as the city's history. We understand that navigating daily life while supporting a child's development requires a flexible and compassionate approach. That's why we bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your home. Rather than adding a commute into the greater Orlando area to your schedule, our services are designed to integrate seamlessly into your life, whether you live near the historic Lake Lily-Lake Catherine area or elsewhere in the city.

Our evidence-based ABA therapy services are tailored to your child's specific needs and your family’s goals. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), such as our own Hiram Aguilera, will work with your family to create a personalized plan. This plan can be implemented in the environments where your child lives and learns every day—at home, in the backyard, or during community outings to one of Maitland’s many picturesque parks. This naturalistic approach helps children practice and generalize new skills in real-world settings. For added flexibility, we also offer telehealth services, ensuring consistent support for Maitland families.

At MCDS, we are committed to being a trusted partner for your family. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, our team of dedicated professionals provides parents and caregivers with the training and strategies to foster positive behavioral changes. Our goal is to empower your family with the tools to support your child's progress and enhance your quality of life within the beautiful community of Maitland.
