Happy Birthday BDS!

May 8, 2014

Breakthrough Developmental Services, LLC was founded 7 years ago today!

To all of the families that have worked with us over the 7 years: Thank you for allowing us to continue serving your family. It has been a joy to watch the growth and progress that your children have made.

To our Technicians, Consultants and Administrative Team (past and present): Thank you for pouring yourselves into BDS. Your dedication to our growth and success is amazing. You all share passion for helping others that shines from within in you. I am impressed daily by your drive to learn more and do more. You are truly dedicated to making a difference and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of co-workers.

Happy birthday (anniversary) to us!

Family Training

October 23, 2013

“To change the way your child operates, you have to change yourself!” ~Barbara Erby

Our Family Training program goes more in depth to help with your mindset, building community, and planning for your child’s future. We are going to help you erase thoughts like “My child can’t do that because…” and replace them with, “Here is how we can help my child succeed…”

We will show you ways to help maximize your child’s successes and teach you how to encourage your student to interact with others. Get ready to explore planning and goals setting for you and your child, discuss key challenges that your child faces and how we (you, your family, BDS and your child’s community) can help them with those challenges. We will talk about what motivates your child, current and future employment options, life transitions, and a host of other topics.

Interested in learning more? Send an email to [email protected] or call 1-855-255-5270.

You Asked… We Listened – The Waiver

March 11, 2013March 11, 2013

Based on the questions and comments that we have received, we have added a few more pages to the BDS website. The first group of pages are about Maryland’s Home and Community Based Waiver for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (also know as the Autism Waiver or the Waiver). This is only the beginning, but we wanted to let you know that the information was now available for your review at https://bdshelps.com/the-autism-waiver/.

If you have further questions, feel free to send them in to [email protected], or give us a call at 1-855-255-5270 (this is a toll-free number). You can also post your question in the comment section of our blog.

Hugs!

Special Announcement

March 6, 2013July 13, 2022

There aren’t many times that I get to make big announcements. Not that I mind. As a matter of fact, I love it. However, I doubt that I will ever be a presenter on an awards show. Although you never really know, do you? This is one of those times that I get to make a big announcement about someone who has been working really hard for BDS families.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to announce that one of our Behavioral Technicians, Ms. Nichole Flowers, has decided to embark on training to become a Consultant. Congratulations to you Nichole! We all have faith that you will do well.

To learn more information about Nichole, visit our Technician’s Page at https://bdshelps.com/supportstaff/.

Have a great day,
