Early Intervention

For infants with Spina Bifida, early intervention services provide the building blocks for growth, independence, and confidence. From therapy to specialized care, early support helps families navigate the journey and gives babies the best start in life.

Key early interventions may include:

• Physical Therapy: Supporting mobility, strength, and coordination
• Occupational Therapy: Helping infants develop daily living skills and hand-eye coordination
• Speech & Feeding Support: Ensuring proper nutrition and communication development
• Medical & Specialty Care: Coordinated care with urologists, neurosurgeons, and pediatric specialists
• Family Support & Resources: Guidance, education, and connections to local programs and support networks

Early support makes a meaningful difference in a child’s development and empowers families every step of the way.
