ABA therapy in DeBary
Located in Volusia County on the eastern shore of the beautiful St. Johns River, DeBary is a community rich in history and natural charm. Known as "The River City," DeBary has grown from its 19th-century origins as a steamboat hub to a modern city with a population of over 22,260 residents as of 2020. The city, incorporated in 1993, is named for its most noted settler, Samuel Frederick deBary, whose magnificent winter estate, DeBary Hall, remains a beloved local landmark and museum.
For families in DeBary raising children with autism, finding supportive services that fit into your established life is essential. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) understands that your life is centered here, amidst landmarks like DeBary Hall and the natural settings of Lake Monroe. That is why we provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where your child lives and learns—at home, in the community, and via telehealth.
Our approach is designed to accommodate the needs of DeBary families. Instead of requiring you to travel to a center, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you. This in-home model allows therapy to be integrated seamlessly into your family's daily routines. Skills can be developed in the very setting where they will be used, making learning more natural and relevant for your child. Community-based services can also help children practice social and functional skills in real-world settings.
Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, and clinical staff like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, MCDS is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based support. We work collaboratively with families, providing caregiver training and strategies to help you confidently support your child’s development. Our goal is to empower your family with the tools and guidance needed to navigate the journey of autism within your home community of DeBary.
