ABA therapy in Palm Springs
Located in east-central Palm Beach County, the Village of Palm Springs is a thriving community known as the "Garden Spot of Palm Beach County." While its name might evoke the famous California resort, Palm Springs, Florida, has a unique history rooted in local agriculture. The community's story began in 1927 when William A. Boutwell started a small dairy farm that grew to encompass about 700 acres. The area was officially incorporated as Palm Beach County's 30th municipality on May 31, 1957, transforming from a landscape with a single dairy barn and no residents into a bustling village.
Today, Palm Springs is home to a growing population of 26,890 residents, according to the 2020 census. This rapid growth is a testament to its appeal for families throughout South Florida. The village holds a unique distinction; by 2010, it became the first municipality in Palm Beach County with a majority Hispanic or Latino population. This rich cultural fabric is a core part of the community's identity.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the families of Palm Springs with dedicated ABA therapy services. Our approach aligns perfectly with the needs of this dynamic village. We provide compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy in homes, schools, and community settings, offering flexibility for busy families. This individualized support helps children with autism and related disorders develop essential skills in their natural environments.
Palm Springs is also the headquarters for the School District of Palm Beach County, housed at the Fulton-Holland Educational Services Center. MCDS recognizes the importance of collaboration between home and school and is prepared to work with families and educators to create cohesive support strategies. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and supervising BCBA Hiram Aguilera, our multilingual team is committed to providing culturally competent care that respects the diverse backgrounds of all families in Palm Springs.
