About ALS

With our clinic locator, we can help you find a specialized ALS clinic near you. The majority of specialized ALS clinics will be part of the Canadian ALS Research Network (CALS). CALS centers offer expert care for ALS patients and their families, providing education, symptom management, and multidisciplinary care. Learn more about CALS here.

The ReferALS tool is a resource designed to help non-ALS general or community neurologists recognize and understand the signs and symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as well as how and when to refer suspected ALS cases to a specialty Canadian ALS Research Network (CALS) Clinic.

The initiative aims to reduce the time to diagnosis of ALS across Canada, expediting critical access to multidisciplinary care, approved treatments, and clinical trials which may slow disease progression and/or improve quality of life.
