Learning/Intellectual Disability

Please note: AMI-Quebec helps families cope with mental health problems and illnesses in a loved one. We do not have services for autism or other learning or intellectual disabilities. Please contact the organizations below for help.

Learning and intellectual disabilities and neurological and developmental disorders are different from mental illnesses. (Curious about the differences? Click HERE.*)

For help with learning or intellectual disabilities (including ADD and ADHD), please see below. For neurological and developmental disorders (including Autism and Tourettes), please scroll down.
