ABA therapy in Longwood
Located in Seminole County, Longwood is a key city within the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford Metropolitan Statistical Area. With a history shaped by the growth of nearby military installations and the region's burgeoning space and technology sectors, Longwood has evolved into a primarily residential community for its more than 15,000 residents. This development history means many families are navigating careers in diverse fields while raising children in established neighborhoods like The Woodlands.
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the specific needs of Longwood families. We understand that managing work, school schedules, and specialized care can be challenging. That's why we provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where your child lives and learns. Our in-home ABA services are designed to bring professional support into your residence, integrating therapeutic strategies into your family’s daily routines and reducing the need for travel.
For children attending schools in the area, MCDS offers services that can be coordinated within the educational setting. Seminole County Public Schools is a major employer and educational pillar in the community, and our team, under the clinical guidance of professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, can work to support children’s progress in the classroom, subject to school district approval. Community-based therapy is another cornerstone of our approach, allowing for skill-building in real-world settings that are part of your child's life in Longwood.
As a city with major employers like Orlando Health's South Seminole Hospital, Longwood is a hub of activity. MCDS aims to provide a stable, consistent source of support for families with children with autism. Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, our goal is to deliver accessible, evidence-based care that respects the unique structure of each family we serve in Longwood and across Central Florida.
