Expanding access to AAC support for pALS starts with equipping future clinicians! 💙 BV’s Emily Kornman trained LSU Health New Orleans’ CSD clinic in AAC evaluations, opening the door for ALS clients and giving grad students hands-on experience. Thank you, LSUHSC NSSLHA!

We're heartbroken to share the passing of our client & dear friend, Brooke Eby, at just 37. She was hilarious, fearless and shone a bright light on a dark disease. Today we raise a finger to ALS 🖕 Rest in peace, Brooke 💙
It's AAC Awareness Month—the perfect time to reshare our "What is AAC?" guide! AAC (Augmentative & Alternative Communication) is the tools and strategies that help you communicate when speaking or using hands becomes difficult. It's at the heart of everything we do.
There are lots of types of AAC depending on individual need. It can be:
→ A simple communication board you keep on the table and point to
→ An app on your phone that speaks for you
→ A speech-generating device controlled by your eyes
→ And lots of other things in between
Swipe through to learn when to start thinking about AAC, what the different types of tools are (from lite-tech to high-tech), and where to find resources to dig deeper.

Choosing a speech-generating device is a big decision for people with ALS. Join us Oct 20 at 3pm ET to compare iOS and Windows SGDs and make a more informed choice.

This year's @alsassociation Walk to Defeat ALS in Rochester opened with a speech from our client Derek, the 2026 Walk Ambassador. Written with eye tracking, delivered with his @elevenlabsio voice clone. ALS can't take his voice, his humor, or his fight. 💪🎤

Our client Lt. Col. Thomas Brittingham wrote a book of life advice to his sons using only his eye gaze device. It's a beautiful gift to his family, and we're floored that he's donating 100% of proceeds to us. Get your copy at: buff.ly/rIfG0WH
