Hi Katie! I’m sorry to hear about your son’s diagnosis, ALS is hard. I know people have looked at electrical stimulation for slowing the progression of ALS but I don’t know the details. Restoring function electrically and getting assistive devices is especially difficult since ALS is a progressive disease. Once you get things set up, the disease changes and the device no longer works. My first personal contact with someone with ALS was with one of the Honduras trip leaders when I first started going. Lots of Honduras memories!

Your research is very impressive, my son has ALS and I would be interested in exploring that. By the way I remember you from our trips to Honduras !!!
