Meet Our Team

Our Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Program at Boston Children’s Hospital brings together diverse providers who are experts in the care of children with SMA. The program was created in 2004 and is directed by child neurologist Basil Darras, MD.

We have also created a network of other Boston Children’s specialists who are experienced in caring for children with SMA. This collaboration makes it easier for families to find providers in other specialties who are knowledgeable about SMA.
