Patient and Caregiver Education
We offer educatonal materials to all patients seen at our center. Each patient receives a binder that includes information on:
Respiratory Care
How ALS Affects Speech
Augmentative Communication
Home Modification
Nutrition
Managing Constipation
Advance Directives
In addition, publications from MDA are available, as well as a lending library that contains both books and videos.
An ALS support group for patients, families, and friends meets at UAMS every 8-12 weeks. Contact the Little Rock MDA clinic at (501) 227-7098 for further information.
We have held an ALS Caregiver Conference in 2005 and 2007, and plan to hold our next Caregive Conference in 2009. We will post information as details become available.
