Jay S. Fishman ALS Augmentative Communication Program | Protocol of Assessment Considerations

Our affiliation with several proactive neurologists and ALS team members from referring centers has given us the opportunity and honor to learn from people with ALS who choose to meet with us early in their life with ALS.
