The Regional Municipality of Durham offers services to help child care professionals support children's development and behaviour.
The Health Department Infant and Child Development Program and the Children’s Services Division Durham Behaviour Management Services are working together to support families with infants and young children who may have developmental delays or risk for developmental delays.
While Infant and Child Development continues to help with COVID related work in our community, staff from Durham Behaviour Management Services can work with your family to provide support by discussing developmental goals for your child, supporting new skill development and linking you to other appropriate programs. We know how important it is for families to be connected and supported. Please contact 905-668-4113 ext. 2829 or by emailing behaviourmanagement@durham.ca for service or for more information.

Early Learning and Child Care ProfessionalsWe support child care professionals and their families who have children with behaviour challenges in licensed child care programs. We create individual plans to help change problem behaviour. We work with you, your team and the child's parents. ParentsView our Fall 2021 Newsletter to find a list of parent workshops and how to register. We offer parent groups on a variety of topics to all parents who have children with behaviour concerns, under the age of 12. If you have a child, under the age of seven, with a developmental disability, we offer behaviour consultation to support skill development and reducing challenging behaviours.
