ABA therapy in Harmony

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer dedicated ABA therapy services to families in Harmony, a distinctive master-planned community in Osceola County. Established in 2003, Harmony was designed with a unique vision: to create a sustainable community where residents can live in balance with the local ecology. This thoughtful approach to community planning mirrors our own commitment to providing carefully structured and individualized ABA therapy that fits seamlessly into your family’s natural environment.

As a Green-certified community, recognized by the Florida Green Building Coalition, Harmony stands out for its commitment to environmental stewardship. The community's development included a cooperative relationship with the University of Florida's Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation, underscoring a foundational goal of peaceful coexistence between people and nature. For families navigating the journey of autism spectrum disorder, creating a supportive and predictable environment is key. MCDS embraces this principle by delivering ABA therapy directly in your home, where your child feels most secure. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) work with you to integrate skill-building strategies into your daily routines, using the familiar setting of your home to foster learning and development.

Located near St. Cloud and as part of the greater Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area, Harmony provides a serene setting with convenient access to regional amenities. We understand that for families in this growing community of over 1,000 residents, accessible and flexible support is essential. MCDS eliminates the stress of commuting to a center by offering in-home, in-school, and telehealth ABA therapy options. This ensures that every family in Harmony can receive consistent, high-quality support that complements their lifestyle and educational choices.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team is dedicated to empowering families with the tools and strategies they need. We are here to serve the Harmony community, providing compassionate and professional ABA therapy services designed to support your child's journey.
