ABA therapy in Dunedin
MCDS is proud to offer dedicated ABA therapy services to families in Dunedin, Florida, a distinctive city in Pinellas County with a rich Scottish heritage. With a population of over 36,000 residents, Dunedin is celebrated for its vibrant downtown, waterfront vistas, and world-renowned beaches like Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island State Park. The city's unique character, born from its history as a key trading center and its incorporation in 1926, creates a special environment for families to grow.
For families in Dunedin navigating the journey of autism, MCDS provides flexible and compassionate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that fits into your life. We understand that every family's needs are different, which is why our services are not confined to a clinical setting. Our model emphasizes in-home, school-based, and community-based support, bringing therapy to where your child is most comfortable.
Whether you reside in neighborhoods like Fairway Estates, Barrington Hills, or Braemoor, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and technicians can deliver personalized ABA therapy directly in your home. This approach helps children develop crucial skills in their natural environment, promoting generalization and reducing the stress of travel. For families who enjoy Dunedin's beautiful outdoor settings, our community-based therapy can incorporate skill-building at local parks or during outings near the Dunedin Causeway, turning everyday experiences into learning opportunities.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is committed to a family-centered approach. We also offer telehealth services, providing a convenient option for parent training and consultations that fits the busy schedules of Dunedin families. Our goal is to be a trusted partner, delivering evidence-based support that respects your family's values and integrates seamlessly into the fabric of the Dunedin community. We work collaboratively with you to create a supportive plan that addresses your child's specific needs.
