ABA therapy in Dundee

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to the families of Dundee, a distinctive town in the heart of Polk County. Since its incorporation in 1925, Dundee has cultivated a unique identity, even recently voting to maintain its 'town' status, reflecting a community that values its close-knit character and heritage. As part of the Lakeland-Winter Haven Metropolitan Statistical Area, Dundee families balance this small-town feel with the dynamics of a growing region.

With a population of over 5,200 as of the 2020 census, Dundee is a growing, multicultural community. Its demographic landscape includes a vibrant Hispanic population, comprising over 34% of residents, alongside established White and African American communities. MCDS is dedicated to providing culturally and linguistically competent care that respects this diversity. Our services, available in both English and Spanish, are designed to ensure every family feels understood and supported.

Understanding the needs of Dundee families, MCDS focuses on delivering ABA therapy where it matters most: in the natural settings of daily life. Rather than requiring travel to a center, our therapists come to you. Our in-home ABA therapy model allows children to learn and practice new skills in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. We also offer community-based services, integrating therapeutic goals into local outings and activities. For families needing additional flexibility, our telehealth services provide consistent, high-quality support remotely.

This approach is designed to fit seamlessly into your life, reducing stress and helping children generalize skills in the environments where they live, learn, and play. Under the guidance of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical leadership like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing accessible and compassionate ABA therapy. We partner with Dundee families to create individualized plans that empower children with autism to build independence and participate more fully in their community.
