Living with ALS Manuals

We encourage all patients in Georgia to register with our association.

Upon registration, we will supply the patient and his family with a set of Living with ALS manuals. These manuals address many of the common concerns and issues that face people living with ALS.  They are titled:

  1. What’s It All About?
  2. Coping With Change
  3. Managing your Symptoms and Treatment
  4. Functioning When Mobility is Affected
  5. Adjusting to Swallowing and Speaking Difficulties
  6. Adapting to Breathing Changes

These manuals were created because of the rapidly expanding information and research in the clinical management of ALS. These cornerstone educational materials have been updated to reflect advancement in patient care and are designed to inform and educate people about ALS in a comprehensive and easily understood format.

Reading all six manuals at one time can be overwhelming to persons with ALS and their families. We highly recommend that you only access the information that pertains to your present circumstances.

Once you have reviewed one or more of The ALS Association's Living With ALS Manuals©, you may have questions and you may want to know where to go for even more information. Feel free to contact us toll-free number at (888) 636-9940 or e-mail michelle@alsaga.org.
