About Us

ASK

ASK is a one-stop resource for parents, schools, and specialists, helping to support children, teenagers and young adults with learning differences and special educational needs in Switzerland. Our vision is to enable children, teenagers and young adults with learning differences and special educational needs (SEN) to reach their full potential and inclusion into society, and to ensure that they receive the understanding and respect all individuals deserve. Through the generous donations of private donors and foundations all of our services and programs are partly subsidised.
