ABA therapy in Land O' Lakes
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to families in Land O' Lakes, a vibrant and growing community in Pasco County. As a census-designated place within the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater metropolitan area, Land O' Lakes has developed its own unique identity, rooted in a history that includes absorbing smaller communities like Denham, Ehren, and Gowers Corner.
With a 2020 population of 35,929, Land O' Lakes is a thriving suburban hub for families. Data from the census shows that more than one-fifth of the population (21.2%) is under the age of 18, highlighting a significant need for accessible pediatric support services. MCDS addresses this need by providing evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the child's most familiar settings—at home, in the community, or via telehealth. This approach is particularly beneficial for busy families managing life and travel along major thoroughfares like U.S. Route 41.
Our commitment to culturally competent care is essential in a community as diverse as Land O' Lakes, where nearly 20% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS offers bilingual support in English and Spanish, ensuring that language is not a barrier to receiving quality care. We understand that effective therapy involves the entire family, and we strive to communicate in the language that is most comfortable for you.
Whether your family lives in a historic part of town or a newer development, our services are designed to be flexible. Instead of requiring you to travel to a center, our therapists come to you, integrating therapeutic strategies into your daily routines. MCDS is dedicated to supporting the developmental needs of children with autism in the Land O' Lakes community, providing professional guidance and personalized care right where you live.
