ABA therapy in Daytona Beach Shores

Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is proud to support families in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida, with personalized and accessible ABA therapy services. Situated on a unique barrier island in Volusia County, this community of over 5,100 residents is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Halifax River lagoon to the west. This beautiful setting provides a unique backdrop for the community-based and in-home services we provide.

Daytona Beach Shores was incorporated on April 22, 1960, by local leaders dedicated to providing superior services for a close-knit community. This founding principle of tailored, resident-focused support resonates with our mission at MCDS. Under the guidance of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, we are committed to delivering individualized ABA therapy that respects the specific needs of each child and family we serve. We understand that in a city where approximately 80 percent of residents live in high-rise condominiums, convenience and accessibility are key.

Our service model is designed to fit the lifestyle of Daytona Beach Shores families. By offering in-home, school-based, and telehealth ABA therapy, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) bring support directly to you. This eliminates the stress of commuting to a clinic and allows therapy to occur in the child’s natural environment, where skills are most effectively learned and generalized. Whether your family lives near Daytona Beach to the north or closer to Port Orange in the south, our team is ready to help.

As a resort and retirement community, Daytona Beach Shores is known for its motto, "Life is Better Here." At MCDS, we believe that access to quality developmental and behavioral support is essential for all families to experience the best that life has to offer. We are dedicated to providing culturally sensitive, evidence-based care to help children with autism and related disorders build communication, social, and daily living skills in their home and community.
