ABA therapy in Wellington
Wellington, Florida, located in Palm Beach County, is recognized internationally as the "Winter Equestrian Capital of the World." This unique identity shapes the community's character, blending a passion for outdoor sport with a focus on family life, as reflected in its motto: "Unique Hometown, Family Atmosphere, Family Environment." For families in Wellington navigating the journey of autism, finding support services that understand this distinctive lifestyle is essential. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the Wellington community with compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy.
From its origins as the 18,000-acre Flying Cow Ranch in the 1950s, Wellington was thoughtfully designed to become the thriving village it is today. Incorporated on December 31, 1995, the community has grown to a population of over 61,000 residents. Its master-planned design includes landmarks like the International Polo Club Palm Beach, the private Aero Club neighborhood, and the central Lake Wellington, creating a cohesive and activity-rich environment. This planned structure supports families but can also mean busy schedules and a need for flexible healthcare solutions.
MCDS understands that effective autism therapy should integrate seamlessly into a child's natural environment. Our model emphasizes in-home and community-based ABA therapy, allowing our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists to work with children in the familiar comfort of their own homes and neighborhoods. Whether your family lives near the equestrian venues or in one of the village's many family-oriented residential areas, our services are brought directly to you. This approach helps children develop and practice new skills in the real-world settings where they will use them most, from home routines to community outings.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to providing accessible and individualized support. We also offer telehealth services, providing another layer of flexibility for busy Wellington families. Our goal is to empower children and support their families by delivering personalized ABA therapy that respects the unique culture and pace of life in Wellington.
