Our Story
The spark for Ziggy came in 2019 with Nicole, physiotherapist, and Yrsa, her daughter:
"More and more often we noticed that our 18-year old daughter, Yrsa, who has profound intellectual and mental disabilities wants more contact with us. She frequently turns her head around to glimpse us. She also makes some noise - even though she cannot talk - as if she wants to call for us. Through this behaviour, I realised how little contact there actually is when you are pushing a wheelchair from behind - when walking together is an especially social activity.”
I could finally walk next to my husband again instead of behind. It feels more equal
- Wheelchair user
Then I can walk next to my clients who may be suffering from a seizure
- Day care supervisor
My daughter always wants to hold my hand and constantly looks back to look for me
- Mother of daughter with PIMD
