Developmental delays can be early signs of a serious medical condition. Cure SMA created the SMArt Moves campaign to educate parents and healthcare providers about the signs of delayed milestones. With SMA, early diagnosis and early treatment is key. Visit to the SMArt Moves HubSpot for healthcare providers for additional opportunities for credit, non-credit educational activities, a provider toolkit, and more.

Non-Credit Opportunities
Cure SMA partnered with NeurologyLive and HCPLive to develop a video series entitled “Evaluation of Spinal Muscular Atrophy in the Era of Telehealth”. The goal of this partnership is to enhance current awareness and understanding of SMA diagnostic requirements, while demonstrating opportunities to screen and evaluate suspected SMA in a remote appointment setting.
Cure SMA has partnered with Platform Q to develop six modules surrounding support and care for children with SMA after gene replacement therapy. These modules showcase the family perspective on gene therapy and multidisciplinary care for SMA. Modules are available through September 2021.
Cure SMA’s Virtual Summit of Strength Webinars and 2020 Virtual SMA Conference Webinars provide a variety of educational topics for SMA. These are posted on our YouTube channel and available to the public. There is no CE/CME credit associated with these videos.
In 2016, experts in SMA care met to present and discuss the latest discoveries and options for optimizing care. The meeting was organized by The University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Medicine and was co-sponsored by Novartis Gene Therapies (formerly AveXis) and the Orphan Disease Center.
