What is Ashland Learning Differences Support Group?

How We Help

This Support Group was started with the belief that every single child is resilient, and that their resilience can be fostered with the help and support of a community. We acknowledge that raising a child who learns differently can be a challenge and at times lonely. Hopefully this space will provide support for learning, growth, resources and bonding. We invite you to find out more information and hope you will join us.
