Izzy and Ailbhe Keane, two sisters from Ireland, are on a mission to empower wheelchair users by transforming wheelchairs into a form of artistic self-expression.
Izzy Keane was born with Spina Bifida, and has used a wheelchair her whole life. As a naturally bubbly person, Izzy was frustrated that she couldn’t personalize her chair in a way that would reflect her personality. Her older sister Ailbhe from a young age would decorate her wheels, and in Ailbhe’s final year of art school she created a collection of fashionable wheelchair covers for her sister. Thus, Izzy Wheels was founded.
Izzy Wheels collaborates with renowned artists to create stunning wheel covers available to wheelchair users around the world. Izzy Wheels has just launched its most recent collection—a collaboration with print and fashion designer Orla Kiely.
"Colour and pattern can bring so much joy and to apply both to something so vital in people's lives to me was an absolute honour. I love the result and can't wait to see them in action!” -Orla Kiely
Wheelchair covers can bought online at izzywheels.com. The covers cost $209.11 AUD and come in pairs. A portion of all sales go to Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Ireland.
The new collection is available for a limited time, so check it out today!
Living with a disability can have its challenges, but Izzy Keane proves you don’t have to let it get in your way. Izzy Wheels motto: “If you can’t stand up, stand out!”

We aim to give you 3 options for each service requested.

As much as you would like to. We do need your contact information so that providers will be able to get in touch with you. You can choose how you would like to make this contact. The more information you provide about the support you need, the quicker we can find you services and the more suitable options we can provide you with.

Yes. Providers need to subscribe by paying us a listing fee to be on the MyCareSpace platform. This covers the cost of our team checking their details, maintaining their listing information and keeping a record of their capacity. We help providers communicate with people looking for their services. Providers pay for these services so that the support provided to participants and their families can be free. For some services, such as allied health, that are in high demand and where capacity changes rapidly, we dedicate a MyCareSpace team to actively monitor and maintain the capacity of these providers. In return for this service, providers pay us a connection fee.

If your child has been recommended occupational therapy, you might assume your role is mostly to sit in the waiting room. Think again. For many families, the parent isn't a bystander in the session, they're one of the most important parts of it.
