My mom has spina bifida and I feel I should know many things that I have no idea about. For my Exceptional Student: P- Grade 6 I have to do a Higher, Wider, Deeper project. I am going to explore spina bifida, which all I know (or think I know) is that it is a twist in the spine and babies are born with it. I obviously need to learn more about it.
How exactly does one come to have spina bifida? What exactly is spina bifida?
Are there different levels of it?
Are there special things people with spina bifida have to do to take care of themselves?
Do people with spina bifida have a lower life expectancy?
Do people with this disability ever also have mental disabilities?
What is this prenatal surgery I have heard of and can babies now be healed of spina bifida?
Does the government help out with the financial strain of this medical condition?
How does this disability affect families?
How does this disability affect individuals with spina bifida?
I really am interested in all of these questions. Over the next few weeks I'll research the topic and share my findings in my blog with you!
