There is a MDA-ALS Chapter in Erie. Go to the
MDA website and enter the zip code to get the contact for assistance.
They have helped others access specialists in AAC in the
area. We refer everyone from Erie with ALS to
them. If a Veteran, then the contact is the VA at Wade Park
in Cleveland. Let me know if you need more information about the VA
contact. Good luck. Lisa M. Bruening, M.S.,
