Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario

for over 40 years, the spina bifida & hydrocephalus association of ontario (sb&h), has been committed to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus. sb&h was incorporated as a registered charity in 1973 and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. the association supports those with spina bifida and/or hydrocephalus and their families with the challenges brought on by these serious, disabling conditions. sb&h has grown to provide a comprehensive and essential range of services for parents, families, youth and adults with sb/h. our programs are rooted in the principles of self-help and personal support. we also serve the broader community which includes: parents who receive pre-natal diagnosis of sb/h; extended family members; all women of child-bearing age about the benefits of folic acid in the prevention of neural tube defects; and a wide spectrum of professionals in the social services, medical, health and education fiel
