ABA Therapy in Davenport, FL

ABA therapy in Davenport

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to the families of Davenport, a rapidly growing city located in the heart of Polk County. Since its incorporation in 1915, Davenport has transformed from a quiet railroad settlement into a bustling residential hub. The city's recent growth is remarkable, with a population that surged from 2,888 in 2010 to over 9,043 by the 2020 census. This dramatic expansion highlights the increasing number of families choosing to make Davenport their home, and with this growth comes an expanding need for accessible and professional family support services.

For families in Davenport who are navigating the journey of an autism diagnosis, MCDS provides consistent, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy designed to fit into your life. We understand that life in the fast-growing Lakeland-Winter Haven metropolitan area can be demanding. Our approach is centered on reducing stress for caregivers by bringing therapy directly to your natural environment. Whether it's in the comfort of your Davenport home, in a community setting like a local park, or through direct collaboration with your child's school, our services are flexible and client-focused. This model is particularly beneficial for a city experiencing such rapid development, as it eliminates the need for families to travel to a clinic, saving valuable time and integrating therapeutic goals into daily routines.

Davenport’s history is rooted in connection, starting with Fort Davenport in 1838 and later the South Florida Railroad, which established the community in the 1880s. Today, that spirit of connection is what drives MCDS. Our team of dedicated therapists works to create individualized therapy plans that address the unique needs of each child. By providing services in familiar environments, children have opportunities to practice and generalize skills in the very settings where they will use them most. For families with complex schedules or those living in newly developed areas, our secure telehealth services offer an equally effective and highly convenient option for receiving consistent, high-quality care and parent training.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and with clinical oversight from Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to being a reliable, compassionate resource for the entire Davenport community. We focus on empowering parents and caregivers with practical strategies to support their child's development, helping families build a strong foundation for communication, social skills, and learning. As Davenport continues to thrive and welcome new residents, MCDS is here to ensure that every family has access to professional, culturally sensitive ABA therapy services.
