ABA therapy in Oldsmar
Situated at the 'Top of the Bay' in Pinellas County, Oldsmar has a distinct history rooted in the vision of its founder, automobile pioneer Ransom E. Olds. Established in 1916, Oldsmar was conceived as a planned community, a place designed from the ground up for "Health, Wealth and Happiness." Today, with a population of just under 15,000 residents, the city retains a unique identity, balancing its rich past with the needs of modern families.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the specific needs of families in a community like Oldsmar. The city’s history as a thoughtfully planned environment resonates with our own approach to ABA therapy: creating structured, supportive, and individualized plans that fit seamlessly into a child's life. For families managing the complexities of autism spectrum disorder, accessing consistent, high-quality care without the stress of long commutes is essential.
Our service models are designed with this in mind. MCDS brings ABA therapy directly to your family, whether at home, in your child’s school, or through telehealth appointments. This flexibility is especially valuable in Oldsmar, allowing therapy to integrate with your daily routines. Instead of traveling to a clinic, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and therapists work with your child in their natural environment. A session could involve developing social skills during a walk along the waterfront of Old Tampa Bay or building communication skills within the familiar comfort of your home.
Under the guidance of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our clinical leadership, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to being a reliable resource for the Oldsmar community. We provide compassionate, evidence-based support that honors the city's founding principle of fostering well-being, helping families across Pinellas County build skills for life.
