Are you a California resident? If so, help support children and adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in California by educating state leaders about the rare neuromuscular disease and asking that they support priorities important to the SMA community. 

Even with FDA-approved treatments for SMA, children and adults with SMA continue to face significant health and everyday living needs that impact their ability to learn, work, live, and participate in their communities. 

State legislative leaders can help address the needs of individuals with SMA by:

• Strengthening access to caregiving services through Medicaid;
• Promoting accessibility in our state and communities, including playgrounds, parking lots, and restrooms; and 
• Supporting the rights of people with SMA in employment, housing, and community living.  

TAKE ACTION: Ask your California state leaders to address the needs of South Dakota residents with SMA and their families.
