About

Our mission is to promote the prevention of Spina Bifida and to enhance the lives of all affected.

Help make a difference; VitaPath Research

The Spina Bifida Association has teamed up with VitaPath to research the role genetics in Spina Bifida. Recently our Executive Director, Patty Dissell sent out a letter to all mothers of children with Spina Bifida. VitaPath has asked our chapter and multiple SBA chapters to help in the study. VitaPath is seeking mothers to complete an online survey and provide DNA samples using
an at-home saliva collection kit. VitaPath's hope is the study will provide insight on understanding Spina Bifida, and how someday it could be prevented.

For those mothers that would like to enroll, please visit
www.sbgenetics.org and select ENROLL.

Surveys are available in English and Spanish and over the
telephone by calling 1-866-561-3538.

Particpants who take part in the survey may choose to receive
a $10 Target Gift Card or to have $10 donated to our local Spina Bifida Chapter.

SBAK is a resource center which provides free services and programs
to children and adults with Spina Bifida and their families.
