Learning/Intellectual Disability/Neurodivergence

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

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

For help with learning disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders (including ADD and ADHD), please see below. For developmental disorders (including Autism and Tourettes), please scroll down. Please do check both lists as some organizations help with a wide range of challenges.
