ABA therapy in Lake Worth Beach

In Lake Worth Beach, a city defined by its vibrant cultural tapestry and motto, "The Art of Florida Living," families find a unique blend of history, diversity, and coastal charm. From the historic homes of College Park and Old Lucerne to the bustling energy of the annual Street Painting Festival, Lake Worth Beach is a community with a distinct identity. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the more than 42,000 residents of this dynamic city, offering ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy that understands and respects the local context.

Recognized as one of the most ethnically and racially diverse municipalities in Palm Beach County, Lake Worth Beach is home to families from many different backgrounds. MCDS is committed to providing culturally sensitive care that meets the needs of every family. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our goal is to deliver services that are not only effective but also accessible and respectful of each family's values and language. We understand that for many working-class families in the area, flexibility is key.

Our service model is designed to integrate into your daily life. We provide in-home ABA therapy, bringing support directly to your doorstep in neighborhoods throughout Lake Worth Beach. This approach allows children to learn and develop skills in their most natural and comfortable environment. For families needing additional flexibility, our telehealth services offer a convenient way to access consistent support from our qualified professionals, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA. Furthermore, community-based therapy allows us to use the city itself as a learning environment, practicing social and adaptive skills in the very settings—like parks near the beautiful Lake Worth Lagoon—where they will be used.

Since its incorporation in 1913, Lake Worth Beach has grown into a city that celebrates its diversity through events like Palm Beach Pride. MCDS mirrors this spirit by providing inclusive and personalized ABA therapy services. We partner with families to create a collaborative plan that supports their child's development journey right here in the community they call home.
