Bowker Biography:
Liz Kulp

Liz Kulp, a dynamic teen with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) provides the unsuspecting world a closer look at what it is like to live with this disability. Her book, written when she was thirteen, takes the reader by the hand on a journey with her family in living with fetal alcohol exposure. Children with FASD struggle academically, physically, and emotionally. Their unusual behaviors are often misunderstood and their disability misdiagnosed. Over 45,000 babies in the USA are born each year with this disability, more than all the children born with HIV, Downs, Muscular Dystrophy or Spinal Bifida. It is truly a hidden disability that wreaks havoc in the child’s life, the family in which they live and the community they grow up in. Families, professionals, friends and persons with FASD enjoy Liz’s story, her words help many believe life holds possibilities when you have a better understanding.

FASD is 100% preventable and is the #1 cause of birth defects in the United States, yet our culture ignores it. Liz has been a fighter since infancy and chose as a young teen to fight the stigma and blindness of the public to help people understand the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure on the life of a young person. Liz has testified at the Minnesota State Capitol and spoken on the Ricki Lake Show, Whatever Show for Teens and speaks nationally with her mother Jodee. For three years her group MoAngels performed inspiration music for social change at community events. Liz’s goal is to be The Best She Can Be: Living with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or Effects.
