ABA therapy in Orlando

Welcome to MCDS, a dedicated provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for families in Orlando, Florida. As the county seat of Orange County and a vibrant hub of Central Florida, Orlando is much more than its world-famous attractions; it is a diverse and dynamic home to over 307,000 residents. Known as "The City Beautiful," Orlando’s rich history dates back to its incorporation as a town in 1875, and it has since grown into a sprawling metropolitan area where countless families build their lives.

At MCDS, we understand that life for families in a bustling city like Orlando can be demanding. Navigating work, school, and daily commitments alongside the unique needs of a child with autism requires flexible and accessible support. That is why we specialize in providing in-home, community-based, and telehealth ABA therapy. Our model is designed to remove the barrier of travel time and the stress of commuting to a center, allowing therapy to integrate seamlessly into your family’s established routine, right in your own Orlando home.

Our commitment extends beyond the home into the community settings that define life in Orange County. MCDS therapists can work with your child to generalize skills in real-world environments, whether it’s practicing social skills at a local park or navigating community outings. From the historic avenues of Church Street Station to the lively atmosphere of Downtown Orlando, our community-based approach uses the city itself as a landscape for learning and development. By meeting children in their natural environments, we help them build functional skills that are directly applicable to their daily lives.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to delivering compassionate and individualized care. We recognize that every family's journey is unique, and our services are tailored to fit your specific circumstances and goals. Whether through face-to-face sessions at home or school, or via convenient telehealth appointments, our goal is to empower your child and support your family here in Orlando.
