ABA Therapy in Seminole, FL

MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Seminole, Pinellas County.

ABA therapy in Seminole

Located in the heart of Pinellas County, the city of Seminole is a vital part of the Tampa Bay area. Since its incorporation in 1970, Seminole has grown into a community of over 19,300 residents, balancing a serene, established feel with its proximity to major urban centers like St. Petersburg and Largo. For families in Seminole managing the needs of a child with autism, this unique environment presents both opportunities and challenges that MCDS is prepared to meet.

Understanding that every family's schedule is different, MCDS offers flexible ABA therapy services designed to fit into your life. Rather than requiring you to navigate traffic on main arteries like Alternate U.S. Highway 19, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) can provide support directly in your home. This in-home model creates a comfortable and familiar setting for children to learn and develop new skills.

Seminole’s community spaces, including the area around Lake Seminole, provide excellent opportunities for community-based ABA therapy. This approach allows children to practice social, communication, and safety skills in real-world settings. Our therapists can work with your child on practical life skills in the very environments where they will use them, fostering greater independence and community integration.

MCDS is committed to serving the diverse population of Seminole. With a growing Hispanic and multiracial community, we recognize the importance of culturally and linguistically sensitive care. Our team strives to meet the unique needs of every family we serve. For those who require even greater flexibility, our telehealth services provide a vital link to consistent, high-quality ABA therapy from anywhere.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and clinical guidance from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, Multicultural Development Services Center provides compassionate and evidence-based support. We are dedicated to partnering with Seminole families to provide individualized ABA therapy services that respect their specific needs and circumstances.
