SUMMARY:ALS Caregivers Support Group
DESCRIPTION:The Caregivers Only group offers a time to talk about all the issues caregivers face in a non-judgmental\, accepting atmosphere without their loved one\, who is living with ALS\, being present. Caregivers share a common experience; life has become so tumultuous that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed\, hungry for emotional comfort. Together\, with the guidance and encouragement of a devoted facilitator\, caregivers can find the strength to persevere. And\, by feeling heard and understood\, caregivers become more equipped to face another day with new coping strategies. \nTime: Meets the Third Monday of each month from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. \nFacilitator: Anne Lidsky\, PhD \nRSVP: Please RSVP here. \n*Meetings will be held over Zoom and a Zoom invitation will be sent via email once you register for the group.*

SUMMARY:ALS Learning Series: Control your phone with your voice 
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 20\, at 12:00 P.M. CST  \nWhat should someone with ALS do to control their phone or tablet\, when direct tapping on the screen becomes difficult? This ALS Learning Session will describe in detail how to control your mobile devices totally hands-free with just your voice. After seeing how powerful Voice Control is on iPhones and iPads\, and Voice Access is on Androids\, you’ll wonder why these absolutely free and easy-to-use software utilities aren’t more well known!  These voice tools are truly good news for almost all people with ALS who are experiencing loss of motor ability in their hands.   \nThe Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community. Thank you to the Gilbert & Jacqueline Fern Foundation and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America for sponsoring this webinar.  \nEddy Ehrlich is the Assistive Technology Specialist at Bridging Voice.  He came to the field of Assistive Technology through his combination training as an occupational therapist and a mechanical engineer and has provided evaluations and trainings to people in various settings: schools\, hospitals\, and homes. Eddy specializes in computer access and augmentative communication. Over the past 30 years he has seen promising emerging technologies transform into powerful products for people with disabilities including voice-control and eye-tracking. Eddy has been a salesperson and a therapist but has always seen himself as an assistive technology educator\, believing that knowledgeable consumers evolve into more powerful and independent tech users. Eddy works patiently but diligently to train people in expanding their technical skills because poorly implemented technology solutions can be so overwhelming and frustrating. Eddy has been with Bridging Voice nearly since its beginning in 2019\, now working nationally [and all over the world] with a team of 10 experts to remove the access barriers between people with ALS and communication.
