Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA)
Dedicated
to conquering the 40 neuromuscular diseases that affect millions of
Americans of all ages. MDA publishes two magazines, several caregiving
guides, booklets on each disease covered by MDA, brochures about MDA
programs, booklets on some medical issues, and booklets for parents,
children, teachers and other interested readers. You can link to most
of MDA’s publications, in English and Spanish, or get printed copies
at your local MDA office. To find past magazine articles on specific
topics, just go to “Stories by Topic” under Quest or the MDA/ALS
Newsmagazine. You can research various diseases and link to the
characteristics of a disease; the usual age of onset, progression and
inheritance type; and a comprehensive list of materials on this
website about the disease. Find an MDA clinic and learn about services
and camp programs. Connect with others who are facing similar
challenges posed by neuromuscular diseases and locate an MDA chapter
in your community.
