Join the Spina Bifida Resource Network November 13–15, 2026, for a weekend of connection, empowerment, learning, and community! A special weekend designed for adults with disabilities to connect with peers, build skills, share experiences, and explore ways to live their best lives.
For the first time, SBRN will offer a half-day Unstoppable Teen Program for youth ages 13–20 with disabilities as part of our annual Empowerment Retreat.
The Unstoppable Teen Program will give teens an opportunity to:
• Connect with other teens and young adults with disabilities
• Build confidence and independence
• Develop communication and self-advocacy skills
• Explore decision-making and leadership
• Talk about the transition from school to adulthood
• Participate in interactive and educational activities
• Have fun and build new friendships!
Interested in having your teen participate?
In addition to registering for the Empowerment Retreat, parents/caregivers are asked to complete a short Teen Program Interest Form. This will help us learn more about your teen and their interests and needs as we plan the program.
The interest form is not a separate registration or an additional fee. It simply helps us get to know your teen and plan a program that meets the needs and interests of the group.
