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, ADD, ADHD, 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.*)
