ABA therapy in Sanford
As the county seat of Seminole County, Sanford, Florida, offers families a unique blend of history and modern life. Known as the "Historic Waterfront Gateway City," Sanford sits on the southern shore of Lake Monroe, providing a scenic backdrop for its more than 61,000 residents. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to serve the Sanford community by providing accessible, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that integrates seamlessly into the lives of local families.
Sanford’s vibrant community spaces, from the beautiful Sanford Riverwalk to the engaging Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens, are more than just landmarks; they are opportunities for learning and growth. Our community-based ABA therapy model allows our therapists to meet your family in these real-world settings. A session might involve practicing social skills during a walk along Lake Monroe or developing adaptive behaviors while visiting the downtown shops, helping your child generalize skills beyond the home environment.
We understand that life in the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metropolitan area can be busy. For families balancing work, school, and the demands of living near a major hub with its own international airport, finding time for clinic-based appointments can be a challenge. MCDS addresses this by offering flexible in-home and telehealth ABA therapy services. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you, providing individualized support in the familiar comfort of your own home. This approach helps children feel secure and allows for strategies to be implemented directly within the family's daily routines.
Under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez and our clinical team, including Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to providing compassionate and professional care. We partner with Sanford families, including those with connections to institutions like Seminole State College of Florida, to create personalized therapy plans that support each child's specific needs and goals. Our focus is on empowering children and supporting families throughout their journey.
