COUNSELLING
辅导
It can be quite daunting to internalise and accept the conditions that come with Muscular Dystrophy, and that confusion and doubt can create a volatile environment for individuals with Muscular Dystrophy and their caregivers. Art therapy and counselling help members and their families cope with struggles and emotions such as anxiety, grief, anger and depression.
要接受自己或亲人患上肌肉萎缩症并不容易，患者和他们的看护往往会感到困惑，身陷令人不安的处境。会员和他们的家属可通过艺术治疗和辅导克服困难，以及调节紧张、悲伤、愤怒和忧郁等情绪。
THERAPY
物理治疗
MDAS provides weekly physiotherapy for members. These sessions help to retain muscle strength and tone, prevent muscle wasting and delay the onset of contractures.
MDAS每周为会员提供物理治疗，帮助他们锻炼肌肉力量和张力，避免肌肉衰竭，延缓患上挛缩症。
RESPITE CARE
临时看护
With the mission to provide relief for caregivers, MDAS Respite Care Service seeks to provide assistance in activities of daily living and nursing care to members with Muscular Dystrophy. Our home-help and centre-based services enable caregivers to take a breather and help relieve their stress from taxing round-the-clock caregiving roles. This in turns enhances the well-being of caregivers so as to ensure they remain effective when providing care. These services include feeding, toileting and monitoring health conditions of these members with muscular dystrophy.
MDAS 临时看护服务为肉萎缩症患者提供日间活动和护理，让他们的看护有喘息的空间。我们在中心和上门提供服务，帮助看护缓解全日照顾患者的压力。这进而照顾到看护的身心，确保他们有效地看护病患。这些服务包括喂食病患、带他们如厕，以及监督他们的健康。
TRANSPORT
交通
The MDAS’ wheelchair-accessible transport service is available to all members with Muscular Dystrophy to provide a safe and affordable mobility option. A highly subsidised service using specially adapted vehicle, it plays an integral role in facilitating our members’ participation in our association’s activities as well as in their integration with the community. Members may also use the service under the Dial-A- Ride Scheme for their personal needs, such as attending medical appointments, going to school, recreational and social purposes.
MDAS提供方便让轮椅上下的交通服务，为所有肌肉萎缩症患者提供一个安全和价格合理的通勤选项。这项获得高津贴的服务利用特别改装的车辆，有助于会员前往参与我们的活动，以及融入社区。会员若有个人需要如去医疗复诊、娱乐和社交活动，也可通过拨号乘车计划使用这项服务。
TRANSPORT SUBSIDY SCHEME
交通津贴计划
Through the Transport Subsidy Scheme, members are provided up to 100% subsidy on a case-by-case basis. This ensures that our school-going children remain in school and continue to seek regular medical consultation despite the high transport cost.
通过交通津贴计划，会员可获得最高100％津贴，视个别情况而定。这确保学龄孩童不必担心交通费昂贵，让他们继续上学和定期接受医疗咨询服务。
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
财务援助
Under our Assistive Device & Equipment Subsidy, members with muscular dystrophy were provided with subsidies for the purchase of life-saving medical equipment. This enables them to enjoy a better quality of life and to live with dignity. We also prioritise the need of providing functional motorized wheelchairs for members as this is the first step to overcoming isolation and to come out into the community to have fulfilling interaction and learning.
通过辅助器材和设备津贴计划，肌肉萎缩症患者可获得津贴来购买救生的医疗器材。这让他们得到更好的生活品质，过上有尊严的生活。我们优先为会员提供功能电动轮椅，帮助他们为克服孤立踏出第一步，走进社区，进行有意义的交流和学习
