ABA therapy in Oviedo

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to offer applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy services to families in Oviedo, Florida. Located in Seminole County, Oviedo is a city that blends a rich history with dynamic modern growth. From its origins as the Lake Jesup and Powell Settlements to its incorporation as a town in 1925, Oviedo has transformed from a rural community known for agriculture into a thriving city with a population of over 40,000 residents as of 2020.

The city's motto, "Growing in the right direction," reflects its development, spurred by its proximity to the University of Central Florida and the Central Florida Research Park. This growth brings many families to the area, creating a vibrant community that values education and innovation. MCDS understands that for families in Oviedo managing busy schedules, accessing specialized support for children with autism and related conditions needs to be convenient and effective.

Our approach to ABA therapy is designed to fit the lives of Oviedo families. Instead of requiring you to travel to a center, MCDS provides in-home, school-based, and community-based services. This means our therapists can work with your child in their natural environments, whether that's at your home, in their school, or during an outing to a local park like Oviedo on the Park. This method allows children to learn and practice essential skills in the settings where they will use them most. For families living near the UCF campus or working at the Research Park, our flexible scheduling helps integrate therapy seamlessly into your daily life.

Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and the clinical guidance of professionals like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, our team is committed to providing compassionate and individualized care. We also offer telehealth services, providing a convenient option for parent training and consultations, ensuring consistent support is always within reach. MCDS is dedicated to supporting the Oviedo community by helping children and their families build skills and foster independence.
