Welcome to Breakthrough Developmental Services!

BDS is a clinic-based practice that uses the principles of ABA (applied behavior analysis which includes verbal behavior) to teach skills in both the structured and natural environments while making learning fun and interesting. BDS provides individualized services based on assessment to people up to age 35 with developmental, intellectual, and learning disabilities. All consultants are Board Certified Behavior Analysts and all instructors are Registered Behavior Technicians with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree.

At BDS, we believe that all people can learn, grow, and live a more independent life. Each program we write is tailored to meet the needs of the individual we are serving. BDS provide family and individual support while addressing academic, social, and daily living skills. We teach your loved one using ABA while teaching you how and why we use ABA.
