ALS Association Partners with Schoox to Enhance Learning for Healthcare Providers, Caregivers, and People Living With ALS

Schoox will deliver access to educational resources, programs, certification courses, and more.

AUSTIN, TX – April 9, 2025—Schoox, a global leader in frontline workforce learning and skills development, has been selected by the ALS Association to provide fast and easy access to a comprehensive range of educational resources to support clinicians, care teams, people living with ALS, and their families.

ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is an always fatal progressive neurodegenerative disease that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. For decades, it was widely referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Currently, there is no cure for ALS.

“The ALS community looks to us for all things related to ALS,” said Shannon Waters, Vice President, Learning & Development at the ALS Association. “We chose Schoox to help us provide an easy-to-use experience for everyone from health professionals earning certifications to people living with ALS and their loved ones.”

The ALS Association is committed to delivering top-tier educational resources and tools for people living with ALS and their caregivers, healthcare providers, and researchers. One notable example is the self-paced ALS Caregiver Education Course, designed to offer in-depth guidance and training for caregivers in various settings. This course is an excellent resource for home health aides, therapists, and palliative caregivers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide compassionate, effective care for ALS patients.

“We are excited to partner with the ALS Association to offer a learning management solution that provides valuable knowledge and support,” said Lefteris Ntouanoglou, founder and CEO of Schoox. “Together, we aim to empower individuals living with ALS, their families, caregivers, and anyone seeking to learn more about the disease.”

Over 3,000 organizations globally rely on Schoox to modernize training, engage team members, boost employee retention, and improve guest satisfaction.
