ABA therapy in Bushnell

As the county seat of Sumter County, Bushnell, Florida, is a city with deep historical roots and a clear vision for the future, embodied in its motto: "Committed to the Quality of Life." Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) shares this commitment by providing accessible, family-centered ABA therapy services to the Bushnell community.

For the 3,047 residents of Bushnell, local identity is shaped by significant historical landmarks like the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park, the site where the Second Seminole War began in 1835. This rich history, combined with the city's role as a governmental hub centered around the Old Sumter County Courthouse, creates a unique community fabric. MCDS recognizes that families here deserve specialized care that respects their local environment and lifestyle.

We understand that traveling for services can be a challenge. That's why we bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to you. Our services are available in-home, in the community, and via telehealth, ensuring that children with autism spectrum disorder receive support in the settings where they live, learn, and play. Whether your child attends school in the area or your family enjoys the forested landscapes of west-central Sumter County, our therapy plans are designed to integrate seamlessly into your daily life.

ABA therapy is a collaborative process focused on developing communication, social, and daily living skills. Guided by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) like Hiram Aguilera, our team works hand-in-hand with families to create individualized strategies. As Bushnell's population includes a growing Hispanic community, MCDS is proud to offer services that are culturally and linguistically responsive.

"Our mission is to support families in every community we serve, including Bushnell and Sumter County," says Damaris Baez, Executive Director of MCDS. "We are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy that empowers children and their families."
