Meet Inaaya – she was born in 2016 and as she doesn’t walk, gets herself around by shuffling on her bottom. Her mum began to be concerned that she would quickly become bruised & sore whilst also ruining her clothes & someone at school suggested she contact Dressability to see if they could help.
Dressability found a solution by adding protective patches to the seat of Inaaya’s jeans, leggings & trousers made from a reinforced, water-resistant fabric that helps prevent damage to sensitive skin & stops clothing items from wearing out. Once successfully trialled, patches were added to all sorts of other clothing! Over time, Dressability have modified the size & shape of the patches, ensuring they’re suitable for Inaaya’s needs. They’ve also added poppers to the inside legs to help make her dressing and personal care easier.
Inaaya’s mum is thrilled and says “the adaptations have made a big difference in terms of her sociability at school! Now that she’s comfortable and in padded clothing, she can go outside in the playground with her friends”.
