The Building Bridges events hosted by the Bureau of Developmental Disabilities Services (BDDS) are designed to allow individuals and families to connect with BDDS staff, ask questions, share feedback, and discuss any concerns or successes they have experienced with bureau services.

At these meetings, individuals and families with disabilities can come together in a forum for constructive conversations. BDDS hopes that these meetings will allow for meaningful conversations that result in positive outcomes and stronger relationships. It’s a great opportunity to provide suggestions or input for positive change in the services and support provided by BDDS.

There are both in-person and virtual opportunities to participate, so no matter where you are, you can join the conversation. In-person events will be held at the following locations and times:
