ABA therapy in Buenaventura Lakes

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Buenaventura Lakes, a vibrant community in northern Osceola County. Known locally as BVL, this census-designated place is home to over 30,000 residents and is characterized by its unique cultural identity and strong community bonds.

Buenaventura Lakes is widely recognized for its significant Puerto Rican and 'New Yorican' populations, with data from the 2020 Census showing that over 75% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino. MCDS understands the importance of culturally and linguistically sensitive care. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our organization is committed to meeting the diverse needs of the communities we serve. We strive to ensure that every family feels understood and supported, providing a foundation for effective ABA therapy that respects each family's background and values.

For families in BVL, life can be busy. The community's convenient location near the Osceola Parkway and Florida's Turnpike provides easy access to the Greater Orlando area, but it can also mean hectic schedules. MCDS's flexible service models are designed to fit into your life, not complicate it. By offering in-home ABA therapy, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists bring support directly to your doorstep. This approach allows children with autism to learn and develop skills in their most natural and comfortable environment—their own home.

In addition to home-based services, we also provide community-based therapy. Sessions can be designed to incorporate local resources, such as the Osceola Library System, helping children generalize skills in real-world settings. For families who need or prefer a remote option, our telehealth services offer a convenient and effective way to receive consistent support from our clinical team. Whether at home, in the community, or online, MCDS is dedicated to providing accessible ABA therapy services to families throughout the Buenaventura Lakes area.
