Illinois Spina Bifida Association

The Illinois Spina Bifida Association works to improve the quality of life of children, adults, and families living with spina bifida. Spina bifida is one of the most common, permanently-disabling birth defects in the U.S. Spina bifida is the failure of the spine to close properly during the first month of pregnancy. ISBA works to accomplish its mission with a three-part program strategy: Promote skills development and independence; Improve family resilience and access to resources through outreach, education and advocacy; and Provide targeted financial assistance.
