ABA therapy in North Port
Located in Sarasota County, North Port is a city with a unique history and a forward-looking vision, reflected in its motto, "Achieve Anything." Originally incorporated in 1959 as North Port Charlotte, the city established its own distinct identity in 1974 by officially adopting the name North Port. Today, with a population exceeding 74,000 residents as of 2020, it is known for its extensive residential subdivisions and master-planned communities like Wellen Park.
Covering over 100 square miles, North Port's sprawling geography means that families are often spread out across its many neighborhoods. For families of children with autism spectrum disorder, this can present challenges when accessing consistent, high-quality clinical services. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) addresses this by providing personalized ABA therapy directly in your home, school, or community setting. Our in-home and telehealth services eliminate the need for long commutes, allowing therapy to happen in the environment where your child is most comfortable.
North Port’s commitment to community and nature, exemplified by places like the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park, provides wonderful opportunities for community-based therapy. These sessions allow children to practice communication and social skills in real-world settings. Whether your family resides near the historic Warm Mineral Springs or in one of the city’s newer developments, our ABA services are designed to be flexible and adaptable to your specific location and needs.
As a dedicated provider serving all of Sarasota County, MCDS understands the needs of North Port families. We are committed to delivering evidence-based, compassionate care that supports not just the child, but the entire family unit. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez, our team works to empower children and help them build crucial life skills. Contact MCDS to learn how our individualized ABA therapy programs can support your family right here in North Port.
