Mission & Vision

WE BELIEVE the ability to connect and communicate with family, friends, and the broader world is a critical component of the human experience. No diagnosis should be allowed to rob an individual of this possibility.

OUR MISSION is to enable and empower people with neurodegenerative disorders to communicate by removing the barriers between them and assistive technology.

The Challenge

In the United States there are over a million people struggling from the impact of neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple system atrophy (MSA), muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and others.

These diseases can leave a person’s cognition intact while destroying their ability to move and communicate. Without assistive technology these individuals are left unable to express even their most basic needs.

Assistive technologies can help. These technologies can be very effective in restoring a person’s ability to communicate, but there are gaps that prevent these services from being successfully deployed:

Lack of knowledge about available technologies, funding sources, and low cost options
The process of accessing & ordering these technologies is overly complicated
Inadequate support and training exists to help individuals and their families successfully use these technologies
Few opportunities for individuals with disabilities to receive customization that addresses their individual needs
0 ALS clients served
