MCDS provides culturally responsive, BCBA-supervised ABA therapy for children and families in Edgewater, Volusia County.

ABA therapy in Edgewater

When searching for ABA therapy services, clarity and trust are essential. For families in Volusia County, it's important to note that Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) serves the city of Edgewater located within Volusia County, distinct from other Florida municipalities that share the same name. Our commitment is to provide clear, accessible, and supportive care directly to your community.

MCDS specializes in a model of ABA therapy that prioritizes the natural environment of your child. We understand that life for families in Edgewater revolves around familiar routines and places. Instead of requiring you to travel to a clinical center, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) bring evidence-based therapy to you. This can mean conducting sessions in your home, at a local park, or in other community settings where your child learns and grows. This approach is designed to help children generalize new skills into their everyday lives, fostering functional learning in real-world contexts.

Our philosophy, guided by Executive Director Damaris Baez, is rooted in providing culturally and linguistically sensitive care that respects the unique fabric of each family. We know that every child has distinct needs, and every family has a unique dynamic. In a community like Edgewater, where each family has its own rhythm, a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient. Our clinical team, including skilled practitioners like Hiram Aguilera, BCBA, collaborates closely with parents and caregivers to develop a personalized therapy plan. This plan is not just about addressing challenges but also about building on your child’s strengths and interests.

By delivering services directly within the Edgewater community, MCDS aims to reduce the logistical stress on families and integrate therapeutic support seamlessly into your daily life. Our goal is to empower parents with strategies and confidence, making you an integral part of your child’s developmental journey. We are dedicated to being a reliable partner for families throughout Volusia County, providing consistent, high-quality ABA therapy that adapts to your environment.
