Spina Bifida is the # 1 permanently disabling congenital disabilty in the nation.
The Spina Bifida Association of Greater Kansas City is made up of children and adults with Spina Bifida, as well as parents, guardians, family, friends, healthcare providers, and other supporters. Starting very early in life, our children spend significant amounts of time in clinics and hospitals. Frequent medical tests, surgeries, visits to therapists and specialists, and hospitalizations are common. SBAKC is dedicated to helping families affected by Spina Bifida emotionally, educationally, and financially. Financial support is given to families through a number of funds. Emotionally we offer support through organized social functions, fundraising events, chapter meetings, educational programs, and our office staff.

The Spina Bifida Association of Greater Kansas City (SBAKC) is dedicated to:
Fostering and promoting the rights and well-being of all persons with Spina Bifida;
Encouraging care, treatment, education and social interactions of all persons with Spina Bifida and
their families;
Raising the level of awareness in ourselves and others as to the nature of the particular and special
needs of all persons with Spina Bifida.
