How we help

We offer information, support, and resources for individuals living with neuromuscular disorders, along with their families, caregivers, educators, and employers.

We’re all in this together!

If you or a loved one is living with a neuromuscular disorder (NMD)

Our Systems Navigation Program is designed to break down barriers and open doors. When you become a client of Muscular Dystrophy Canada, you’ll receive non-medical support to help you navigate the path ahead.
