A Parent’s Guide to Spina Bifida

Beth-Ann Bloom and Edward Seljeskog have written this book to explain more about spina bidifa: to assist parents and relatives in absorbing the wealth of medical information and facts available about the disorder and the conditions associated with it. The authors cover what is known about causation--addressing the question of whether other children might be born with the disorder--available treatment, and what parents can do to help their child cope with spina bifida from infancy to young adulthood.
