ABA therapy in Glen Ridge
The Town of Glen Ridge, a registered bird sanctuary incorporated in 1947, is one of Palm Beach County's most unique municipalities. With a population of just 217 residents as of the 2020 census and approximately 100 homes, Glen Ridge offers a quiet, close-knit community atmosphere distinct from its larger neighbors. The town's history, from holding early council meetings in a garage to opening its permanent town hall in 2002, underscores its intimate scale. For families in this tranquil enclave, the convenience of daily life is paramount, and accessing specialized healthcare like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy should not disrupt that peace.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that for families in a small community like Glen Ridge, traveling for consistent therapy sessions can be a significant burden. That is why our service model is built around bringing care directly to your family. Our in-home ABA therapy services allow your child to learn and develop skills in their most natural and comfortable environment. Rather than navigating traffic on Southern Boulevard, parents can welcome a qualified Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) into their home, integrating therapy seamlessly into their daily routine.
Our commitment to culturally competent care is particularly relevant in Glen Ridge, where the 2020 Census noted that over a quarter of the population is Hispanic. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS provides services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that every family feels understood and supported. We also utilize community-based instruction, which could involve planned outings to familiar local spots like the area around the Town's community center to practice skills in real-world settings. For additional flexibility, telehealth services provide a vital link to expert supervision from professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, ensuring consistent, high-quality oversight of your child's progress. MCDS's flexible approach ensures Glen Ridge families can access leading ABA therapy services without leaving the comfort of their cherished community.
