ABA therapy in Loxahatchee Groves
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the unique community of Loxahatchee Groves, Florida. Located in Palm Beach County and known as "Florida's Last Frontier," the town has a distinct identity rooted in its commitment to preserving a rural way of life. While the area was first settled in 1917, it wasn't until 2006 that residents voted to incorporate, creating the 38th municipality in the county to protect its unique character from surrounding urban development.
The town's name itself, derived from the Muscogee words for "turtle river," reflects its deep connection to the natural landscape, including the Loxahatchee River. With a population of 3,355 as of 2020, and with over 41% of residents living in designated rural areas, the community offers a distinct setting for families. This spacious, nature-oriented environment is a source of pride for residents and a key part of daily life.
At MCDS, we understand that families in communities like Loxahatchee Groves value services that respect their lifestyle and location. That's why our approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is centered on providing support where it's needed most: in the natural environment of your home, school, or community. For families spread across the town's 12.5 square miles, our in-home and community-based services eliminate the need for long commutes to a clinic, ensuring consistent and accessible support for children with autism.
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) specialize in creating individualized therapy plans that integrate into your family's daily routines. Whether it's developing communication skills during a family activity or fostering social skills in a familiar setting, our goal is to support progress within the child’s natural context. We also offer telehealth services, providing another flexible option for families in Loxahatchee Groves. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care that honors the values of your family and community.
