This essential guide for anyone coping with the challenges of limb loss is published by the ACA and partially funded by the National Center on Birth Defects and Disabilities, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Founded in 1986, the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee. The mission of the ACA is to reach out to people with limb loss and to empower them through education, support and advocacy.
Through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the ACA maintains the National Limb Loss Information Center (NLLIC), the nation's most comprehensive source of information for people living with limb differences.
