The ALS Canada Equipment Program provides access to basic and essential assistive equipment through:

To find out more about the program and see if you are eligible, please review the Program Overview.

Please note that the ALS Canada Equipment Program is not a trial program. This means that we do not loan equipment for the purpose of testing what devices are best for you. Instead, ALS Canada will provide equipment on loan once an individual’s equipment needs have been assessed and preferably trialled by a healthcare professional. Delivery and pickup may cost anywhere between $100 and $400 and are covered by ALS Canada. This is made possible through generous donors in the community.

How to apply

To apply for the Equipment Program, you must be registered with ALS Canada.
