ABA therapy in Lantana
Situated in the heart of Palm Beach County, the Town of Lantana offers families a community rich with history and coastal charm. From its earliest days as a settlement founded by the M.B. Lyman family in 1888 to its formal incorporation in 1921, Lantana has grown from just 100 residents to a vibrant town with a population of over 11,500 as of 2020. This growth, particularly the boom experienced after World War II and the completion of Interstate 95 in the mid-1970s, has shaped Lantana into the community it is today.
Lantana’s story is unique, from being named after the wild flowers abundant in the area to its former tradition of hosting the world's largest decorated Christmas tree at the National Enquirer grounds. These local touchstones create a distinct sense of place. For families living in Lantana and navigating the journey of autism spectrum disorder, finding support that integrates with daily life is essential. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that effective therapy should adapt to the family, not the other way around.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to a family-centered approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. We bring our services directly to you, whether at your home, in a local park, or at your child's school. This community-based model is particularly beneficial for Lantana families, eliminating the need for stressful commutes and allowing children to learn and practice important skills in the familiar settings where they are most needed. Our ABA therapy programs are designed to support the development of communication, social, and daily living skills in a child's natural environment.
MCDS offers compassionate, evidence-based care through in-home and telehealth services. Our goal is to provide Lantana families with the tools and strategies to help their children thrive. We partner with you to build a supportive framework that honors your family's unique needs right here in the Lantana community.
