Seth Kasper of Bismarck, ND, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at the age of three by a team of doctors at the Gillette Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, MN. Seth’s family feels blessed that his disability primarily affects him physically.
Although Seth uses his wheelchair for most of the day, he does walk around the house on occasion and he walks at therapy with the aid of a posture walker with forearm supports.
Seth and his family first became aware of NDAD through their caseworker, who suggested that Seth attend the NDAD annual “Escape to the Lake” event, which is held near Center, ND. Seth’s father, JR, states “Seth is a seasoned veteran of the annual water skiing event with this year marking his eighth year of whooping it up at the lake!” NDAD employees look forward to seeing him each year!
NDAD also made Seth and his family aware of programs that Seth may be eligible for, as well as assisting him with bus passes for the Bis-Man Transit System.
Financial assistance from NDAD has made it possible for the Kasper family to build a small platform to which they have attached a wheelchair lift, giving Seth some much needed independence.
Seth’s father commends NDAD staff stating, “The staff at NDAD have been nothing but professional and courteous. They have gone out of their way to ensure Seth has everything he needs available to him.”
