ABA therapy in Largo

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve families in Largo, the third largest city in Pinellas County. Known as the "City of Progress," Largo has a rich history of growth since its incorporation in 1905. From its beginnings as a rural farming community and "Citrus City," Largo has transformed into a bustling bedroom community with a population of over 82,485 residents.

This rapid growth means that many Largo families lead busy lives. MCDS understands the challenges of balancing work, school, and family schedules, which is why our ABA therapy services are designed for flexibility. We bring compassionate, evidence-based care directly to you, whether at home, in your child's school, or through convenient telehealth appointments. This approach eliminates the need for stressful commutes and allows therapy to occur in the environment where your child is most comfortable.

Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) also utilize community-based instruction to help children generalize new skills. A therapy session might involve practicing social skills at the Largo Public Library or developing communication strategies while exploring the boardwalks at the Largo Central Park Nature Preserve. These real-world learning opportunities are essential for building confidence and independence.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing individualized support that respects each family's unique circumstances. In a dynamic city like Largo, which has grown from just a few hundred people to a major hub in the Tampa Bay area, MCDS delivers consistent, adaptable ABA therapy services to help children and families thrive.
