PALS refers to a Person or Patient with ALS. 

CALS refers to the Caregiver of a person with ALS. 

ALSSO Spokane offers a support group that is dedicated to helping PALS and their CALS navigate through the changes and challenges that ALS presents. One of the best ways  PALS and CALS find support is by meeting with others that are currently going through the same journey, or have had a loved ones that have gone through it! 

ALSSO offers emotional support, information and connections to other ALS organizations, and some financial assistance for the many needs that arise with ALS. 

Well, ALSSO recognizes that many of the people dealing with ALS would like to keep some sense of privacy-especially in the restroom! Bidets are a very handy tool to have around when it becomes difficult or impossible for the PALS to use their hands to cleans themselves. So, we have been coined the name: "Bidets are Us", as we offer bidets to any PALS who would like one!

The ALSSO Support Group is comprised of PALS and CALS and volunteers that are in all walks of ALS. Occasionally we have special guests from other ALS associated organizations or programs that offer to help, as well as professionals from the ALS Clinic at St. Luke's.
