“The Spina Bifida Report” is now on-the-air and being heard all around the world!
To listen to your interview, or share it with friends and family, there is no need to download The Stroke Channel TV app just to hear it.
“The Spina Bifida Report” is now on everyone’s mobile devices (iPhones and Androids) and can be heard on all of the major podcast platforms, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeart Radio.
You can find the show by typing “Abilities Radio” into any of the search boxes on the podcast platform of your choice. You may even be able to find it by typing in “The Spina Bifida Report” (although I just uploaded the show yesterday, so it may take a day or so before you can find it this way). The new website is still being put together, but you can also access the links by going to www.AbilitiesRadio.com.
October is Spina Bifida Awareness Month, and the kickoff to our Annual Appeal Campaign. With your generous support, SBAGNE can continue to expand and improve our outreach, programming, and financial support to families and individuals across New England living with Spina Bifida. Our vision is to build connections and community, break down barriers, promote access and change within society, provide education, and support individuals as they move toward fulfilling and independent lives.
Join our Adult Group! Adult Group dinners and events are geared towards adults living with Spina Bifida age 18 and up. Attendees are welcome to bring a friend or family member. This group was made to provide peer support for adults living with spina bifida and their loved ones.

SBAGNE makes reservation, and schedules, organizes, and promotes Adult Group events. At this time, we ask attendees to cover their own meal expenses.
