ABA therapy in Port Orange
Located in Volusia County, Port Orange is a significant city on Florida's Fun Coast, with a growing population of over 62,500 residents as of the 2020 census. As a principal city within the Deltona–Daytona Beach–Ormond Beach metropolitan area, Port Orange offers a unique blend of history and modern suburban life.
The city's history is deeply rooted in community-building. After the U.S. Civil War, the area was settled by John Milton Hawks, who established a sawmill operated by freed African Americans. His wife, Esther Hawks, founded one of the area's first integrated schools. The legacy of these early colonists is honored in the historic Freemanville settlement, a testament to the city's foundational principles of opportunity and integration.
For the many families that call Port Orange home today, balancing daily life, school, and specialized support for children with autism can be challenging. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) recognizes the need for accessible and flexible ABA therapy that fits into the lives of busy Port Orange families. We provide individualized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy directly in the environments where children are most comfortable and spend their time: at home, in school, or out in the community.
Our in-home and community-based services eliminate the need for families to travel to a clinic, which is especially convenient given Port Orange's humid subtropical climate and hot summers. Instead of adding another appointment to the schedule, our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) come to you. This approach allows therapy to be integrated naturally into a child's daily routines, focusing on developing communication, social, and functional living skills in real-world settings. Under the leadership of our Executive Director, Damaris Baez, MCDS is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based support that empowers families throughout Port Orange and Volusia County.
