The Arizona Ataxia |
An estimated 150,000 people in the United States are affected by hereditary and sporadic ataxias, a group of neurological disorders which are chronic and progressive conditions affecting coordination. They strike without regard to age, gender, or race.
Are you an ataxian or a friend or family member of someone with ataxia who desires validation, personal support, and information?
The Arizona Ataxia Support Group (AASG) has as its main goal, to help those with ataxia, their families, friends and caregivers. We hope that, except for its social aspects, research will someday make our group unnecessary.
Our members vary in age from a few years to seventy-plus. We have an equally diverse collection of occupations including landscape architects, schoolteachers, doctors, nurses, writers, computer specialists, travel agents and several others. Hobbies of present members are many and varied.
