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.

Your ALS Guide

Care guides and helplines · By Your ALS Guide (independent, family-run) (opens in a new tab)

An independent, ad-free guide to living with ALS in the United States: equipment, insurance, planning and a state-by-state directory of loan closets and services.

    ↗ Open Your ALS Guide on Your ALS Guide (independent, family-run)’s site (opens in a new tab)

    Started by a family after their own experience, with a former ALS Association care services director. It is the most practical single site for a US reader: an equipment guide by category, what insurance and Medicare cover, a state-by-state list of equipment loan closets and services, planning pages on work, benefits and advance directives, and a newsletter. No advertising. Compass already cites several of its pages.
