ABA Therapy Services in Poinciana, Florida
Poinciana, a large and rapidly growing census-designated place, offers a unique suburban setting for families across both Osceola and Polk counties. With a population that surged from just over 13,000 in 2000 to more than 69,000 by 2020, Poinciana is a community defined by dynamic growth and cultural diversity. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the specific needs of families in this expansive, planned community and provides accessible, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services here.
Originally planned in the 1960s as a retirement destination, Poinciana has evolved into a bustling, family-oriented community. It spans nearly 73 square miles and is composed of numerous distinct villages, such as Cypress Woods, Stepping Stone, and Broadmoor. For families navigating a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, managing life across such a large area can present challenges. MCDS addresses this by delivering compassionate ABA therapy directly to you, whether in your home, at school, or in other community settings. This approach minimizes travel time and allows children to learn new skills in their most familiar environments.
The community's diverse makeup, with a large Hispanic population alongside significant non-Hispanic Black and White populations noted in the 2020 Census, calls for a provider that understands and respects different cultural backgrounds. "At MCDS, we are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive care that honors each family's unique values and strengths," says Damaris Baez, Executive Director. "Our goal is to collaborate with Poinciana families, creating individualized therapy plans that align with their specific goals."
With key transportation links like the Poinciana Parkway and the SunRail's Poinciana Station, the area is well-connected yet spread out. MCDS’s flexible in-home and telehealth options are designed to fit the busy schedules of modern families. By bringing ABA therapy into the natural settings of your life in Poinciana, we help support your child’s development journey within the comfort and context of your own home and community.
