This Engage Symposium will offer sessions on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), myotonic dystrophy, ultra-rare neuromuscular diseases, as well as research and clinical trial updates for all diagnoses. There will also be daily living sessions that are relevant for people living with all types of neuromuscular disease such as nutrition, exercise, and transitioning to adulthood. Attendees will also have the chance to connect socially with others in the community and browse our Community Resource Hall to learn about other organizations and businesses supporting the neuromuscular community.

MDA is pleased to have Dr. Susan Iannoccone from UT Southwestern Medical Center and Dr. Daragh Heitzman from Texas Neurology co-chairing this Engage Symposium.

This program is provided at no cost, but registration is required for each person who is attending. Lunch will be provided.
