ALS Learning Series: Introducing My ALS Decision ToolTM – Empowering You to Take Control of Your ALS Care

diciembre 16, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

About the Program:

My ALS Decision Tool™ was developed in collaboration with people living with ALS, caregivers, advocates, researchers and clinicians. This groundbreaking decision tool is a web-based, interactive series of questions and considerations which can help you take control of your ALS care. Currently, My ALS Decision ToolTM includes two modules, breathing and nutrition, the two issues of most significant concern to people living with ALS.

By attending the webinar, you will learn how to use My ALS Decision ToolTM to EXPLORE quality-of-life considerations, REVIEW treatment options, and PREPARE for conversations with your doctors. Lauren Webb, LCSW, Director of Support Services and Education, will also discuss the development of My ALS Decision ToolTM as well as the benefit of shared decision-making tools to improve health outcomes. People struggling to make decisions about their own ALS care will find this information to be helpful and empowering.

Both the webinar and My ALS Decision ToolTM are a free, public service of the Les Turner ALS Foundation.
