Community Resources

At AASD Learning Express we feel it’s important for our students and families to have information and access to resources in the community. The community offers many opportunities for children to engage with their peers – such as going to the library, playing at a local park, or participating in an activity day at a local craft store.

Here are some community programs that offer family assistance:
