One of the objectives of the ACA is to develop accurate information about the U.S. population of amputees to allow us to best represent our constituents to government, industry, and the world.
The Amputee Coalition of America (ACA) is a national, non-profit amputee consumer educational organization representing people who have experienced amputation or are born with limb differences. The ACA includes individual amputees, amputee education and support groups for amputees, professionals, family members and friends of amputees, amputation or limb loss related agencies, and organizations.
ACA activity update reports are now being made available to everyone via the ACA Web site and inMotion magazine. Click here for our introductory report which is a brief review of what the ACA is currently doing and how it accomplishes its goals.
The ACA was incorporated in 1989 and is governed by a Board of Directors, the majority of whom are amputees. The ACA operates on the strongly held principle that education enables individuals who have lost a limb to participate knowledgeably in decisions about their own care, services and outcomes. To achieve their highest potential, people with limb loss must play the central role in decisions affecting their lives. Only then can they fully embrace life and its limitless opportunities for self-fulfillment. The ACA exists to provide this education.
