Resources for Exceptional Children and Youth – Durham Region offers a range of services to hundreds of children and youth with special needs who live in Durham Region. Our services are provided on a voluntary basis to families and require guardian consent prior to the initiation of any supports.

Our family-centred approach emphasizes collaboration with families, school boards, child care centres, and other community agencies.

Our professional staff has a wide knowledge base and a variety of expertise and utilizes these skills to ensure appropriate supports for each youth or child in our programs.
