Welcome

Over the last several years I've been dealing with various stages of disability thanks to ALS. My goal is to share solutions and review various products/tools/devices that I have found particularly helpful.

Helpful Links

I will be posting a number of ALS and disability related links here. Unfortunately the links I'll be posting here are going to be somewhat specific to my experience. Consequently, many of the links will probably be rather Québec specific.

Nonetheless, I hope some of the information here is useful to you.
