Izzy Wheels: Making Inclusive Fashion Fun!

A while ago, we shared the story of the brand No Limbits and how Erica Cole is raising awareness of the need for inclusive and adaptive clothing. But how does adaptive clothing pair with the same old wheelchair designs? That’s where Izzy Wheels comes in!

Irish sisters Izzy and Ailbhe (pronounced Alva) Keane are the masterminds behind this innovative brand of fun and colorful wheelchair covers. Since launching in 2016, the brand has partnered with powerhouses like Disney, Marvel, Barbie, and others.

Izzy has spina bifida and knows that wheelchairs can be a source of awkwardness in conversation. ” Having stylish wheels on your chair that match your outfit or show off your interests immediately addresses the chair and opens conversation.” Ailbhe also understands the need to “let users celebrate their individuality by personalizing their source of independence.”

We are inspired to see a new generation bridging the gap between adaptability and fashion! You can check out more Izzy Wheels designs here. We can’t wait to see what these two do next!

I’m Joan, and I know home care from the inside out. I’ve navigated my daughter through 24/7 home care nursing and managed her PCA’s. I’ve helped my parents move into (and out of) assisted living, Medicare episodes, skilled nurse visits, home health aids, and PCAs. Sandwiched in all of that, I’ve helped coordinate home care equipment and supplies, physical therapists, occupational therapists, county workers, and medications (oh, the medications). I know emergency departments, children’s hospitals, cancer wards, cardiac floors, and specialty units. I can recite health insurance policies (and call their bluff). I know a lot of other things in life too, like Shakespeare, where to sit to see a great sunset over a lake, how to keep myself healthy, how to read a profit/loss statement and state statutes, when to use a comma, and that gratitude is one of the keys to success. So I’m going to have this blog and write about home care from time to time. I’ll include topics like current legislation, professional boundaries in a tricky environment, and being a caregiver. I’ll also post some guest blogs from clients and nurses. Join me in the conversation.
