We help educate and raise awareness about neuromuscular disorders.

MuscleFacts is a program designed to promote inclusivity and disability awareness in schools. Our trained staff and volunteers are available to provide an array of options – including professional development for school administrators/educator, in-class workshops with students and teachers, and small group presentations. We will customize the style, length and content of the presentation based on your needs and environment.

Our team can also provide workplace training or give a presentation to your group. We can customize the presentation and/or training to meet your desired goals.
