Hi there everyone,

This is Steph from Ataxia UK.

Ataxia UK have a few closed Facebook support groups which might be useful for people in specific circumstances to find tailored advice and support. They currently include:

- a parents for children with ataxia group

- a 16-30's group for young adults with ataxia

We will also be looking into starting a group for parents who have ataxia in the near future.

If you would like to join any of these closed groups, or would like to see a different group created, please get in touch with me at communications@ataxia.org.uk!

Many thanks and all the best,

Steph

Hi Steph

I would like to know more about whether the ot vests are any good or just an American hopeful idea? I have had people suggest that the glowing testimonials are from people paid to write them .The English neurophysiotherapist thatI saw said it was not the English 'approach'( i.e exercises).
