dc.description.abstractWith input from patients, caregivers, and members of the ALS care team, I created a resource that details a variety of assistive technology that can be used to aid patients with a myriad of challenges to improve their overall functional independence and sense of autonomy. My agency mentor and I also presented a lecture on ALS, OT's role in treating patients with ALS, as well as a demonstration on power wheelchairs with alternative drive systems to the 2026 OTD cohort at TWU. The ALS AT Guide is set to be posted on the Houston Methodist ALS Clinic website for use by patients worldwide.
