ABA therapy in St. Lucie West
St. Lucie West is a significant master-planned community located within Port St. Lucie, the most populous city in St. Lucie County. Development of this area began in the early 1990s, transforming a large tract of land into a thoughtfully designed region with residential neighborhoods, business sectors, and recreational facilities. For families raising children with autism spectrum disorder, the structured environment of St. Lucie West offers a unique setting for growth and learning.
The community's design, which includes amenities like the PGA Golf Club and various places for leisure, provides numerous opportunities for community integration. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) supports this by offering community-based ABA therapy. Our therapists can work with your child to generalize skills learned at home to real-world settings that are part of your family's life in St. Lucie West.
At MCDS, we understand that every family's needs are different. That is why we deliver ABA therapy in the environments where it is most effective for your child. Our in-home ABA services bring evidence-based support directly to your doorstep, embedding therapeutic strategies into your family’s daily routines right here in St. Lucie West. This approach helps children learn and practice new skills in their most familiar and comfortable setting. For families who need more flexibility, our telehealth services provide consistent, high-quality support remotely.
Beyond the planned community, the area is rich with natural history, including the nearby Spruce Bluff Preserve and the St. Lucie River. These local treasures can become part of a child's learning experience, offering sensory-rich environments for skill development. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and BCBA Hiram Aguilera, our team is dedicated to providing personalized and accessible care that respects the unique needs of each family in the St. Lucie West community.
