From there the book is divided intochapters that include neurological assessment, nursing care and coordination, speech andswallowing interventions, nutrition and nutrition therapy, physical therapy, occupationaltherapy, respiratory therapy, assistive technology, social work practice related to ALS,and web-based resources.
