Behavioural Support in Pickering

Local Support for Local Families

Dasdey is a Toronto-based Ontario agency, and Pickering is one of our strongest coverage areas. Our associates live and work throughout the city, from Bay Ridges and West Shore to Brock Ridge, Highbush, and Rouge Park, which means short travel times, strong local knowledge, and a real understanding of the schools, day programs, and community resources Pickering families rely on.

Pickering has grown rapidly in recent years and has a diverse population of families raising children with autism, developmental disabilities, and complex needs. Local school boards (Durham District School Board and Durham Catholic District School Board) serve students with a wide range of behavioural and developmental profiles, and we regularly support families who need additional consistent 1:1 support that supplements what the board provides.

We accept Passport, SSAH, OAP, and private pay funding, and we coordinate with local clinical providers and case managers throughout Durham Region. Whether you need recurring weekly respite, full-day school support, or a long-term 1:1 placement at home or in the community, our coordination team can have a local associate matched and starting within one to two weeks.

We don't have a physical centre. Our associate network expands into Pickering, so support is provided directly where your family already is, in your home, your child's school, or the local community.
