What is Spina Bifida?
Spina Bifida is the most common permanently disabling birth defect in the United States. It occurs when a baby's spine fails to close properly during the first months of pregnancy. This causes full or partial paralysis and on-going medical challenges. However, most born with Spina Bifida can expect to live happy and fulfilling lives. More Facts about Spina Bifida...

Regional Spina Bifida Conference
Every two years, the Spina Bifida Association of Cincinnati hosts a regional conference that brings together individuals, families and professionals dedicated to the health and well being of people with Spina Bifida. Held locally, this event provides programs for all members of the family, including daycare for children 5 years and younger.
We strive to include workshops and presentations focusing on contemporary best practice in the health care of individuals with Spina Bifida, education and learning, financial planning and quality of life issues. Fun activities are planned for the younger attendees. Continental breakfast and lunch are included in this comprehensive event.
The next regional conference is currently being planned for 2010. Let us know what topics of interest or exceptional speakers you would like to see included in the days programming.
