ABA therapy in Atlantis
Nestled in east-central Palm Beach County, the City of Atlantis offers a unique, planned environment for the families who call it home. With a 2020 population of just 2,142, Atlantis is a small, distinct community with a fascinating history. Before its incorporation in 1959, the land that is now Atlantis was part of a ranch named Mulberry Farms, known for raising Brahman cattle. This transition from a rural ranch to a well-defined residential city highlights its thoughtful development.
For families in Atlantis navigating the journey of autism, Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) provides compassionate and accessible ABA therapy services. We understand the private, community-focused lifestyle that Atlantis offers. Our service models, including in-home ABA therapy and telehealth, are designed to fit seamlessly into the lives of Atlantis residents. By providing therapy directly in your home, we eliminate the need for travel and allow children to build crucial skills in their most natural environment. This approach is grounded in convenience and a deep respect for your family's privacy and daily rhythm.
The city's clear geographical boundaries—defined by the Lake Worth Drainage Canal, Lantana Road, Military Trail, and Congress Avenue—make it a well-connected yet self-contained area. This accessibility is an asset for community-based therapy. MCDS therapists can work with families to utilize local settings for practicing social interaction, communication, and functional living skills in real-world contexts. As a provider serving diverse communities across South Florida, MCDS is committed to culturally sensitive care. The 2020 Census notes that nearly 10% of Atlantis residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, and our bilingual staff and resources are available to support families from all backgrounds.
Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to supporting families throughout Palm Beach County. We recognize the distinct character of Atlantis and aim to provide ABA therapy that honors its close-knit community structure while delivering evidence-based, individualized care.
