ABA therapy in Heathrow
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Heathrow, a distinctive master-planned community in Seminole County. Founded in 1985, Heathrow offers a unique, private residential environment, and our services are designed to align with the lifestyle and needs of the families who call this community home. With Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy delivered directly to you, we help integrate developmental support into your family's daily routine.
According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Heathrow has a population of 6,806, with nearly a quarter of residents under the age of 18. We recognize that many local households are managed by busy professionals, given the community's proximity to the Heathrow International Business Center and the national headquarters of AAA. For these families, finding time for clinic-based appointments can be a significant challenge. MCDS removes this barrier by providing in-home and community-based ABA therapy, allowing children to learn and grow in their most natural environments. Our telehealth services offer another layer of flexibility, making it easier to connect with our clinical team without navigating traffic on the I-4 corridor.
The residential structure of Heathrow—a private, gated community—emphasizes security and familiarity. Our in-home therapy model respects this environment, providing discreet and professional services within the comfort of your own home. MCDS is also a multicultural organization, reflecting the diverse fabric of Heathrow, which includes significant White, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, we are committed to providing culturally competent care that honors each family's values and background.
By bringing evidence-based ABA therapy to you, MCDS offers a practical and accessible resource for Heathrow families. Our goal, guided by supervising clinicians like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, is to provide compassionate, individualized support that empowers children and families throughout the community.
