An active member of the Movement Disorders Policy Coalition, the American Brain Coalition uses education and advocacy to improve public understanding of functions of the brain. 

The group also empowers people living with brain conditions, including movement disorder conditions such as ataxia, dystonia, Parkinson’s and Tourette’s.

“The 50 million people living with disabling brain disorders deserve more research initiatives,” says Executive Director Katie Sale. “That will encourage additional treatment options, services and support that will improve patients’ quality of life and build a national commitment toward finding cures for these disorders.”

Bringing together organizations representing patients, families, providers and other stakeholders, the American Brain Coalition works to reduce the burden of brain diseases and increase funding for neurological disease research.

The Movement Disorders Policy Coalition is proud to partner with the American Brain Coalition to advance better care for those living with movement disorders.
