Education Day & Education Session Opportunities

Once a year, SBANT offers a day of education on topics relevant to the health, wealth and happiness of persons living with spina bifida. Past presenters have spoken on depression, exercise, bowel and bladder issues, transition services, adaptive sports and more.
Due to Covid, SBANT will not be hosting an in-person event in 2022. Instead we will be sharing virtual opportunities for sessions for adults and parents provided by SBA and local disability support organizations, as well as hosting a virtual event with four other chapters in April. SBANT will be offering scholarships to cover registration fees for SBA hosted sessions. The events will be listed on our calendar and shared via social media and email.
To view presentations from previous SBANT Education Days, see below.
