Living with spina bifida. 1992

Health care workers are normally the ones who surround family members as they first begin to cope with spina bifida. It is important to assess family stressors and work with family members to formulate a care plan which assists them to cope with this child. Helping these children grow in society, within our schools and in their jobs, shows that continual observations and interventions may be necessary to maintain optimal growth. I have had the opportunity here to share personal experiences. I can truly say that I look forward to the opportunities ahead and realize that success lies not in my job, but within me.
