Living With Cerebral Palsy

Dan Krauss

Issac Maccombs is a 10-year-old boy that has grown up with cerebral palsy in Nelsonville, Ohio. He is completely reliant on others, such as his parents, teachers, and his personal “One-on-One” at his school. Though he is disabled, Isaac still has a life full of opportunity. His parents and his peers work hard to find ways that Isaac can enjoy the same activities as able-bodied children.

One Comment on “Living With Cerebral Palsy”

  1. A sensitive, spectacular story, artfully shot and told, Dan.

    The tragedy of the demise of publications like LIFE and LOOK and Saturday Evening Post – publications you probably never heard of – is that this would be a potential cover story for them.

    Are you aware of PARIS MATCH? They cover the world with spectacular human interest stories – you and the other contributors to ohsnapclick should start submitting to them.

Shortly after becoming homeless in August of 2008, the couple decided to give up a life long struggle with substance addiction in order to get back on their feet.  “We was homeless and gave it up,” said Del.  “It was a struggle for me to learn to be a person again, sober and be without alcohol.”
