MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Lake Mary, Seminole County.
ABA therapy in Lake Mary
Located in Seminole County and part of the Greater Orlando metropolitan area, Lake Mary is a thriving suburban city known for its high quality of life. With a population of 16,798 as of 2020, the city has grown significantly since its incorporation in 1973, evolving from early settlements like Bent’s Station and Belle Fontaine into a community recognized by Money magazine as one of the best places to live in America.
For families in Lake Mary, balancing the demands of work, school, and daily life in a bustling suburban environment can be challenging, especially when a child requires specialized support for autism. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands the needs of Lake Mary families and provides accessible, flexible Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy designed to fit your life.
Our primary service model is in-home ABA therapy. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) can work with your child in the comfort and privacy of your own home, developing personalized strategies to build communication, social, and daily living skills in their natural environment. This approach eliminates the need for stressful commutes to a clinic, allowing therapy to be integrated seamlessly into your family’s routine.
We also believe in the importance of community integration. ABA therapy extends beyond the home to help children generalize skills in real-world settings. Our therapists can accompany your family to local places like parks or community centers near the Lake Mary City Hall, providing guidance and support as your child navigates social situations and public spaces. This community-based approach is essential for building confidence and independence.
To further support Lake Mary's diverse and dynamic population, MCDS offers telehealth services. This option provides a convenient way for parents to receive training and for therapy to continue without interruption, ensuring consistent progress. As a multicultural organization, we are also committed to serving the entire community, offering services in both English and Spanish to meet the needs of Lake Mary's growing Hispanic population.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. Contact us to learn how our in-home, community-based, and telehealth ABA services can support your family in Lake Mary.
