  • Research,
  • Disability rights, and

Beyond these topics, it is up to you. Talk about what’s important to you and others you know. It may be challenges with finding a healthcare provider experienced in caring for someone with Spina Bifida; medical supplies or insurance concerns.

If it’s an issue on your mind, it probably impacts someone else with SB too.
