“We’ve moved all over the country and experienced many different therapy approaches. When we moved to St. Louis, we found DASA and it has been life-changing for our son. He is now a competing Paralympic athlete in Track and Field.”

Our son has been part of DASA for several years now; his growth has been amazing. When he doesn’t focus on his physical ‘diffabilities’ as much, he can tune into his intellectual and social abilities. It’s been a blessing to be a part of this organization and see my son blossom.”

“Camp WeCanDu reminds me of how amazing DASA and its members truly are. A community bond exists unlike one I have ever been a part of.  The kids amaze me every year, growing in their compassion and maturity. I am so thankful to take part in Camp WeCanDu.”

This school year, our son gained enough strength to easily walk through his school building and keep up with his schedule and his peers. His many successes are strongly influenced by the opportunities he has had at DASA (archery, swimming, golf, the AT/Ability Gym). We are forever grateful.

So many times in the real world, our daughter gets left out or has to sit on the sidelines and watch other kids participate. Not with Camp WeCanDo! It still brings tears to my eyes seeing my child doing all of the things any other kid can do. I don’t think saying thank you is enough to express how I feel.”
