The ALS Society of BC has contracted the services of Johanne Mattie, a rehabilitation engineer from the Neil Squire Society to interview people with ALS and their caregivers to find ways to improve the support they are getting from assistive technology. This work will help the ALS Society of BC better understand the equipment needs of people with ALS and work towards finding solutions that meet those needs.
So far the interviews have been very succesful and yielded lots of good ideas. Johanne is currently looking for more people to participate in interviews. Interviews are typically 60 minutes long, however this is flexible. Johanne is able to come to your home, at your convenience. If you are able to help out with this important initiative please contact Johanne at 604-453-4000 or email her at johannem@neilsquire.ca.
Can you please forward
this email to folks on our email list. Apparently someone is calling people here
saying they are a representative of ALS and wanting a donation. They ask for
people's credit card #'s.
We (the Chapter or ALS BC) do not make solicitation phone calls nor send
solicitation letters. If anyone calls you please do not give out any information
and let us know that you were contacted.
ACCENT INNS would like to extend special rates to anyone requiring accommodation at any of our locations due to medical services or an emergency. These rates would also apply to family and friends of patients, who must stay in these centers while they offer support to those in need.
