Preface To The Special Issue For The Guidelines For The Care Of People With Spina Bifida

"Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida" provide the best, most up-to-date recommendations for care across the lifespan, from newborn to adult. This special issue of the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine is a collection of key sections of the 2018 Guidelines. The sections of the Guidelines published herein have been expanded from their original format to include more background information about key topics and why they are important in the care of people with SB. It is the hope of SBA that these and future Guidelines will promote and standardize best practice regardless of the characteristics of individuals with SB or where their care was received. It is through providing better care that we will ultimately achieve a better future for all those living with SB.
