ABA Therapy Services in Haverhill, Florida
Nestled in the heart of east-central Palm Beach County, the Town of Haverhill is a close-knit community with a unique history and a strong focus on family life. Incorporated in 1950 and named by settlers from Massachusetts, Haverhill may be small geographically at just 0.63 square miles, but it is home to a growing and diverse population. For families in this area, finding accessible and effective support for children with autism is a priority, and Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is committed to meeting that need.
What makes Haverhill distinct is its family-oriented demographic. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, 44% of all households in the town have children under the age of 18. MCDS understands that these families require flexible and individualized care plans that fit into their daily lives. Our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is designed to do just that, bringing support directly to you. Instead of requiring travel to a distant center, our therapists provide services in your home, your child's school, or other familiar community settings. This model is particularly suited to the fabric of Haverhill, where life is lived locally.
Our team, operating under the guidance of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical leadership like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, is experienced in serving diverse communities. Haverhill’s population includes significant Hispanic (38.8%), Black or African American (28.8%), and White (25.8%) communities. We honor this multicultural composition by providing culturally sensitive care that respects each family's values and background. Whether your family lives near Haverhill Park or in the communities bordering the town like Royal Palm Estates, our goal is to become a trusted partner in your child's developmental journey.
MCDS focuses on building essential skills to foster greater independence and communication. By working with children in their natural environments, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) help them generalize new skills to everyday situations. We collaborate with families and caregivers to create consistent, supportive strategies that empower children and their families. We are proud to serve the Haverhill community, providing professional ABA therapy that is as convenient as it is compassionate.
