ABA Therapy Services in Tequesta, Florida
Situated in northern Palm Beach County, the Village of Tequesta offers a distinct, close-knit community atmosphere for its more than 6,100 residents. Founded in 1957 as a planned community centered around the Tequesta Country Club, the village maintains a well-defined character, honoring the indigenous Tequesta people in its name. Its unique geography, with portions of the village located on the mainland and across the water on Jupiter Island, shapes daily life for its families.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the needs of families in communities like Tequesta. We recognize that nearly a quarter of all local households have children under 18, and for those navigating the challenges of autism spectrum disorder, accessible and consistent support is crucial. The nature of life in Tequesta, where travel often requires crossing a bridge, underscores the value of in-home and community-based services. For instance, major construction projects like the one on the Jupiter Federal Bridge can significantly impact family schedules, making clinic-based appointments an added source of stress. Our services are designed to alleviate that burden.
MCDS brings Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your family. Our therapists can provide support in your Tequesta home, at your child’s school, or in familiar community settings like local parks. This approach ensures that therapeutic strategies are developed and practiced in the child’s natural environment, fostering skills that are practical for everyday life. Telehealth services are also available, offering another layer of flexibility for busy Tequesta families.
"Our mission is to provide adaptable, evidence-based care that integrates seamlessly into a family's life," says Damaris Baez, Executive Director of MCDS. "In a community as unique as Tequesta, that means delivering therapy that is not only effective but also convenient and respectful of the family’s daily routines."
Each child's therapy plan is individualized by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who works closely with parents and caregivers. We are committed to a collaborative approach, providing the training and resources families need to feel empowered. For families in Tequesta seeking compassionate and professional ABA therapy services, MCDS is ready to provide support right where you live.
