At Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children in Dallas, children and adolescents with spina bifida benefit from a strong developmental model of care vastly different from the medical model used at other centers. Developmental pediatricians, APNs, RNs, PTs, OTs, recreational therapists, orthotists, and dietitians staff the Spina Bifida Clinic two mornings a week to provide holistic care to more than 1,000 children from the entire state of Texas.
