The Foundation’s primary purpose is to support Ataxia research, provide vital programs and services for Ataxia families, and help in the search for treatments and a cure. NAF is the only organization in the United States dedicated to the disease that serves all types of Ataxia. NAF works closely with the world’s leading Ataxia researchers, promoting exchanges of ideas and innovation in Ataxia discovery.  NAF offers many educational resources for Ataxia, including a comprehensive library of brochures, fact sheets, and books. NAF also provides several ways for the Ataxia community to connect, such as: Support Groups, a Facebook Ataxia Support Group, various Ataxia events, medical expos, and most importantly, the Annual Ataxia Conference – a two-day conference designed for Ataxia experts and Ataxia families to come together.
