ABA therapy in South Daytona
Located in Volusia County along the scenic Halifax River, South Daytona offers families a rich history and a close-knit community atmosphere. Once known as the town of Blake, which was established with its own post office back in 1878, the area has a legacy of resilience. After being annexed by Daytona Beach, residents worked to establish their own identity, incorporating as the Town of South Daytona in 1938 and officially as a city in 1951. Today, with a population of just over 12,800 residents, South Daytona maintains its distinct character while being conveniently located just south of its larger neighbor, Daytona Beach.
For families in South Daytona navigating the path of an autism diagnosis, finding accessible and personalized support is crucial. Multicultural Development Services Center (MCDS) is committed to serving the Volusia County community by providing compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy that meets your family where you are. We understand that life in South Daytona is busy, and clinic-based appointments aren't always the best fit. That's why we emphasize flexible service delivery, including in-home ABA therapy, community-based support, and telehealth options.
Our approach is designed to integrate skill-building into your child's daily life. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), such as Hiram Aguilera, might work with your child on social skills at a local park or on communication goals in the comfort of your own home. By bringing therapy into familiar environments, we help children and teens learn and generalize skills more effectively. Our team, under the leadership of Executive Director Damaris Baez, includes bilingual providers who offer services in both English and Spanish, reflecting our commitment to serving the diverse fabric of communities like South Daytona. We are dedicated to providing families with the tools and strategies to support their child's development and foster greater independence.
