Computing in the Service of People with ALS
Numerisla is an association dedicated to supporting people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) by providing them with computer solutions adapted to their mobility loss and communication needs.

Our belief is simple:
👉 Digital technology can restore autonomy, voice, and social connection to people whom the disease gradually isolates.

🎯 Our Mission
ALS progressively affects motor skills and speech. Yet, intellectual abilities remain intact.
Numerisla works to:

• Maintain patients’ digital autonomy

• Facilitate communication with family and caregivers

• Enable access to the Internet, administrative procedures, and cultural content

• Support psychological well-being through social connection and self-expression
