ABA Therapy Services for Families in Jupiter, Florida
Jupiter, the northernmost town in Palm Beach County, is a community defined by its stunning natural resources, from the historic Jupiter Inlet Light to the winding Loxahatchee River. For the more than 61,000 residents who call this town home, life is often centered around the water and the outdoors. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that for families managing the needs of a child with autism, support services must fit into this unique lifestyle, not disrupt it.
Since its incorporation in 1925, Jupiter has grown into a vibrant town that cherishes its connection to the environment and community. MCDS honors this by offering applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy that takes place in the settings where your child is most comfortable and where skills are most needed: at home, in school, or out in the Jupiter community. Rather than requiring travel to a clinical setting, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and technicians come to you. This approach allows therapeutic strategies to be integrated directly into your family’s daily routines.
Imagine a therapy session focused on social skills development during a family visit to a local park, or practicing communication skills while preparing for an outing to Roger Dean Stadium. Our community-based model utilizes Jupiter’s own landmarks and public spaces as real-world learning environments. This method helps children generalize skills more effectively, applying what they learn in therapy to everyday situations. By meeting you where you are, we reduce the logistical stress on parents and allow therapy to become a natural part of your child's life.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing flexible and individualized care. Whether through in-home sessions that respect your family’s privacy and schedule, collaboration with educators in your child’s school, or through secure telehealth appointments, our goal is to provide consistent, high-quality support that empowers Jupiter families.
