Resources
MDA Resource Center
MDA’s Resource Center is a hub for questions and assistance for all things MDA, support, events, and more.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Grant Program
MDA is proud to offer the Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Grant to help children and adults living with neuromuscular diseases get the equipment they need to live more independently and comfortably. We know how expensive and hard it can be to access the right equipment. This program helps reduce the cost of items like mobility aids, lift chairs, and more, giving families extra support and peace of mind.
MDA Gene Therapy Support Network
MDA has invested over $125M in the development of gene therapy (GTx) for neuromuscular diseases over the past 20 years. With new gene therapy drug approvals in the pipeline, MDA is here to facilitate access and to provide support and education to the neuromuscular disease community.
MDA Community Education
MDA’s Community Education programs aim to support every person and family living wtih neuromuscular disease through the delivery of relevant, responsive, and actionable content from leading experts in the field. These programs focus on navigating critical life transitions, increasing disease understanding, and supporting access to independence.
MDA Summer Camp
At MDA Summer Camp, every camper finds a place to belong in a community rooted in inclusion, friendship, and fun. Here, kids and young adults with neuromuscular disease grow in confidence as they take on new adventures, make lifelong friends, learn to self-advocate, and discover just how much they can do.
