Designing Space for people living with ALS

Recently one of our friends, a teacher at Unionville High School, asked if she might include an ALS patient as a virtual client for her Interior Design Class.
What a great (awareness) idea!
The students sent a number of questions about daily living needs, space needs, specific needs for machinery, etc. The result was a visually appealing and highly useable space for both the person living with ALS and their caregiver.
One of the things that becomes difficult with ALS is the number of changes, and the rapid changes your body goes through throughout the disease. This means ever changing needs, from a cane to a wheelchair, to supports in the bathroom and ramps into the home. Putting some forethought into these potential changes may help make these transitions a little easier.
We applaud the hard work of the two students. We think the design is awesome! We also hope they learned a little about ALS and shared that knowledge with their fellow classmates too.
I was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and my condition was rapidly worsening before I began a herbal treatment program with NaturePath Herbal Clinic. At the time, my symptoms were progressing steadily, and even simple daily tasks were becoming increasingly challenging.
After starting the program, I gradually began to notice changes. Over the course of six months, I experienced improvements I hadn’t expected. In recent months, I’ve gained some weight and have been able to walk without support again, which has made a significant difference in my daily life.
I’m grateful for the care and support I received throughout this period. For more information, you can visit their website at www. naturepathherbalclinic .com
