Compass is still being developed and is effectively in beta. Some content and features may be incomplete, change, or not work as expected.

Content is anchored to trusted sources where available, but Compass has not yet been clinically reviewed. It provides general information rather than medical advice.

Feedback helps us identify gaps, errors, usability problems and opportunities to improve Compass over time.

ALS Association equipment loans

Equipment and accessibility · By The ALS Association (opens in a new tab)

Free loans of wheelchairs, lifts, ramps and bathroom aids, and help with communication devices, for registered clients in the Association's US territories.

↗ Open ALS Association equipment loans on The ALS Association’s site (opens in a new tab)

Loan closets lend durable equipment at no cost to people registered with the Association, and a separate programme lends communication and assistive devices and helps with the speech-therapy assessment insurance requires. Respiratory equipment and hospital beds are usually not lent. Which organisation runs the closet near you depends on your state since the 2023 chapter separation.
