Friedreich Ataxia Support
Many support providers may not understand the specific needs of a person living with Friedreich Ataxia (FA). Our founder who is living with FA, continuously guides our organisation and actively advocates for individuals living with FA. If you have any queries and would like to get involved send us an email
Balance & Coordination
Individuals with FA will gradually develop symptoms of ataxia (loss of balance and coordination). Our Support Workers are specially trained to recognise when your balance may not be compromised.
Falls Prevention
Our support workers are aware of when and how falls are most likely to occur. This will prevent you from experiencing falls through environmental and device modifications delivered by our partners.
Slurred Speech
We will help to put you in contact with accredited speech pathologists using our expansive network.
Muscle Fatigue and Spasms
We will support you through provision of massage therapists & physiotherapists who will help you relax your muscles and treat your spasms.
