BDS Winter Holiday Camp

We are happy to announce that our 2012 Winter Holiday Camp Registration is now open! Camp will take place on December 24, 26, 27, 28, and 31 in Bowie, MD. The camp hours are 9 am to 6 pm each day, but parents can arrange for an early drop off/late pick up if needed.

The BDS Winter Holiday Camp will give your child a chance to generalize all of the skills that you have worked so hard to teach them as well as learn and practice the social skills that are needed in life. BDS offers a safe environment for your child to spend their time away from school with our caring and professional staff of Behavioral Technicians and Consultants.

Register your child for the BDS Winter Holiday Camp today!

What to do with all these applicants?

As mentioned in a previous blog post, we received over 80 resumes in for a handful of positions in DC, MD, and VA (at the time the blog was posted it was 70).We thought long and hard about what to do with the additional resumes. Many of the people who applied were more than qualified and were very eager to start. They had a variety of background experiences and we really didn’t want this pool of potential staff members to just disappear as many parents have often told me that they can’t find potential staff members for their program. So what were we to do?

Firstly, we created a new blog site to post new job announcements for the people who had sent in their resumes. This provided us with a central location to have potential staff members look for positions without us needing to constantly email all of them and potentially having our emails marked as spam. Current staff members will continue to be notified via our staff newsletter about open positions.

Secondly, we created a Potential Behavioral Technicians page on the Breakthrough Developmental Services, LLC homepage. The address to the new page is https://bdshelps.com/Pages/BehTechs.aspx. On Thursday, August 16, 2012 the Human Resources Department sent an email requesting an information update from all persons who previously applied for a position. As these updates are received from the applicants, they will update the information that is posted on the page. Parents, if you are interested in having a potential applicant join your team you may feel free to contact the Human Resources Department at [email protected] or 240-355-0834.

As a reminder, all staff members must complete our 4 basic training classes before beginning with a client. Additionally, with each new client there is training specific to their individualized program. All Behavioral Technicians also received ongoing training and supervision.

If you have any questions about this correspondence, please feel free to contact our offices at [email protected] or give us a call at 240-355-0834.

Sincerely,

Barbara Erby

For those of you that have been following us on Facebook, you know that BDS staff members will be at Focus 2012 ~ Guideposts for Success on March 10th. Guidepost for Success will be taking place at Bel Air High School from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm. This conference focuses on teens and young adults with special needs and their families facing the challenges of transition to adulthood.  There will be vendors, agencies, organizations, and support groups that provide services to individuals with special needs.

 

Make sure that you stop by and say “hello” to staff members at our table in the exhibitor area. You know that I always customize our tables to fit to location. Since this one is at Bell Air High, you have to see what I have planned.

 

Hope to see you there!
