Planning for the Upcoming Year

Many parents have spoken to us over the years about the possibility of social groups being offered. We need to get a count of how many families are truly interested in their children participating. The social groups would take place in the Bowie/Mitchellville
area and we are looking at beginning the groups in the early part of 2013.

Please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can fill you in on the wonderful plans. Email [email protected] or
give us a call today! Not yet a BDS client? Visit us at www.BDSHelps.com to learn more about us or complete our Contact Us form and a representative will contact you.

Our Websites Have Been Updated….

That’s right, I said “websites.” While we were working on switching servers, we decided to make a few changes to the main website at www.BDSHelps.com. We also decided to fully activate the mobile website at http://m.BDSHelps.com. When you visit the main site from your mobile device, you will automatically be redirected to the mobile site. If you would still like to view the classic BDS site, you can click on the link located at the bottom of any page. After you view the site, let us know what you think. You can send your feedback to [email protected].
