ABA Therapy in Narcoossee, FL

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

ABA therapy in Narcoossee

Located in eastern Osceola County, the unincorporated community of Narcoossee offers a unique blend of history and modern growth. Situated on the shores of East Lake Tohopekaliga, the area's name is derived from the Creek word for "black bear," a nod to the region's natural heritage. Founded in the late 19th century, Narcoossee was once a burgeoning settlement of English immigrants drawn to its promising citrus groves. Though historical challenges like hard freezes altered its path, today Narcoossee is experiencing renewed growth, with housing developments expanding from nearby St. Cloud and Orlando.

For families living in this growing part of the Orlando–Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area, life is often centered around community hubs and major local throughways like Narcoossee Road (County Road 15). The increasing number of families choosing to call Narcoossee home highlights the need for accessible, specialized support services for children with autism. MCDS is committed to meeting this need by providing in-home and community-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

Our service model is particularly well-suited for the Narcoossee community. Instead of requiring families to travel to a clinical center, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) deliver support directly in the environments where children are most comfortable and where skills are most needed—at home, in the backyard, or in local settings like Chisolm Park. This approach helps children generalize skills in real-world settings and reduces the logistical stress on families managing busy schedules. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS provides flexible telehealth and direct therapy options to ensure every family in Narcoossee and across Osceola County can access supportive ABA services.
