ABA Therapy Services for Families in Lake Park, FL

Located in northern Palm Beach County, the Town of Lake Park has a rich history and a distinct community character. Originally incorporated as "Kelsey City" in 1923, Lake Park was the first zoned municipality in Florida, thoughtfully designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers landscaping firm. Today, this town of over 9,000 residents offers a unique setting for families, combining historic charm with access to modern services, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy.

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support the diverse families of Lake Park. We recognize the community's unique composition, which, according to the 2020 U.S. Census, includes a majority Black or African American population alongside significant White and Hispanic populations. Our commitment is to provide culturally sensitive and individualized ABA therapy that respects the background and specific needs of every family we serve.

Our services are available in your home, via telehealth, or in community settings that are part of your daily life.

This community-based model is designed to support families across Lake Park's residential, business, and mixed-use areas.
