ABA therapy in Center Hill
Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to extend its ABA therapy services to the families of Center Hill, Florida. Situated in Sumter County, this community possesses a rich and profound history that predates its official incorporation in 1925. The area, once known as Peliklakaha and Abraham's Old Town, was a significant settlement for Black Seminoles and maroons seeking freedom and building a new community. This spirit of resilience and community-building resonates with our mission to support families facing the challenges of autism spectrum disorder.
With a population of just over 800 residents, Center Hill is a close-knit community where a personalized approach to healthcare is not just a preference but a necessity. MCDS understands that families in smaller cities deserve the same access to high-quality care as those in larger metropolitan areas. Our commitment is to bring Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly to your doorstep. By offering in-home and school-based services, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) work with your child in their most natural and comfortable environments.
This model is especially beneficial for families in and around Center Hill. Instead of requiring you to travel for appointments, we integrate therapeutic support into your daily life, whether at home, school, or during community outings in Sumter County. This approach helps children and teens with autism develop crucial life skills in the very settings where they will use them. Under the guidance of our leadership, including Executive Director Damaris Baez and BCBA Hiram Aguilera, our team collaborates with parents and caregivers to create individualized treatment plans that align with your family’s unique goals and values. We are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support to help your child build communication, social, and adaptive learning skills.
