Equipment funding for neuromuscular disorders
Eligibility check
Muscular Dystrophy Canada may help if you have a neuromuscular disorder it supports, you are registered as a client, the item costs $200 or more and you have not bought it yet. Four quick questions. Nothing you choose leaves this page.

MDC explores other funding with you first and usually does not pay for equipment you can get at no cost elsewhere. Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor.
