Our Story

Launch Behavioural Health is a specialized clinical service team for children, youth, and adults at Dalton Associates. Our team was originally established within Dalton Associates in 2012 as part of the Autism and Behavioural Services division. At that time, we provided supervised psychological and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services to community partners across southern Ontario, with a focus on children and youth with Autism. Through these services, we developed a core team of clinicians with expertise supporting individuals with Autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

In 2019, we opened our direct service clinic in Toronto and rebranded as Launch Behavioural Services, with the goal of providing high quality evidence based services to children and youth. Over the next several years, our expertise expanded to offering assessment and evidence based treatment for adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. Our mission and vision were updated in 2023 to reflect this expansion.

Dalton Associates, founded in 1996, is a psychological and mental health services organization that provides supervised psychological services and mental health services throughout the province of Ontario. Dalton Associates has developed a team of more than 200 Mental Health Professionals throughout Ontario, representing Registered Psychologists, Psychological Associates, Registered Social Workers, Registered Psychotherapists, Registered Nurses, psychometrists, marriage and family counsellors, and child and youth workers.


Dalton Associates (DA) and Launch Behavioural Health acknowledge that we are situated on Turtle Island, that has been inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from the beginning. As a settler-owned organization, we are always working on de-colonizing our practices and offering mental health services that reflect a wholistic approach to health and wellness. Our clients come from a variety of backgrounds, and include First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. We want to do more than make a difference at an individual level: we aspire to support a societal shift in the way that mental health is addressed and cared for, and we believe that a cross-cultural approach, bringing Indigenous worldviews to the forefront, is necessary to help break the system and rebuild it in a way that promotes healthy wellbeing for future generations. We are actively engaged in changing the landscape of mental health care in Ontario, by augmenting (and compensating) the voices and experiences of Indigenous knowledge keepers, and by incorporating Indigenous values and teachings in our program models.
