Futures Program Overview
* Futures Force is a program conducted by the MDA. The Program provides educational, recreational and vocational opportunities for clients who are aged 18 years and over and who are affected by neuromuscular disorders (NMD).
* Participants in the Futures Program are mainly affected by DMD.
* Futures Program has evolved from a pilot program in 1997 to a regular forum at the MDA Centre. To date over 50,000 hours of program activity have been provided through Futures.
Activities
This initiative provides quality of life opportunities for young men who are affected by DMD and who are beyond secondary school age. The Program provides a medium for these people to meet and collectively experience many opportunities.
One of the aims of the FFYA Program is to maximise opportunities commensurate with the physical abilities of the participants.
Futures Forum
Is designed to provide a communications opportunity for participants outside of program hours and for members of the global MD Community to who wish to interact with the program. |
