ABA Therapy Services in Briny Breezes, Florida

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Briny Breezes, a truly unique town within Palm Beach County. Known locally as "Briny," this small coastal community of just 502 residents (as of the 2020 census) has a distinct character shaped by its history. What began as the Shore Acres Dairy in the early 20th century transformed into a welcoming spot for trailer campers and was officially incorporated in 1963 when its residents collectively purchased the land. This spirit of a close-knit, self-contained community informs our approach to providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

For families in Briny Breezes raising children with autism spectrum disorder, the convenience and privacy of in-home ABA therapy can be invaluable. The town’s layout as an incorporated mobile home park along State Road A1A means that travel to outside clinics can be a significant undertaking. MCDS eliminates this barrier by bringing compassionate, evidence-based care directly to your doorstep. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work with your child in their most familiar environment—their home—fostering skills in a natural setting.

The unique demographic of Briny Breezes, largely composed of senior citizens and seasonal "snowbirds," presents a special opportunity for family-centered care. Grandparents are often an essential part of a child's support system, and in a community like Briny, they may be primary caregivers. Our programs are designed to include and empower the entire family. We provide training and strategies for all consistent caregivers, ensuring that grandparents have the tools and confidence to support the child’s learning and development goals.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to service delivery that respects the lifestyle of each family. For those who travel seasonally, our telehealth ABA services offer a flexible option to maintain consistency of care from anywhere. We understand the needs of families in this distinctive coastal town and tailor our services to fit seamlessly into your life, right here in Briny Breezes.
