Allison lives with epilepsy and developmental disabilities, and together with her family, she sought a way to ensure her safety without sacrificing her personality. Read this inspiring story about how Allison continues to live her life with courage and beauty.
"Allison is 23 years old and has epilepsy. Allison was born with a deletion of the 22nd chromosome which resulted in developmental disabilities, and ultimately epilepsy to follow. She was diagnosed with epilepsy at 12 years old and has continued to fight for control. She has medication resistant epilepsy which leads to multiple seizure types and treatment has been challenging.
Allison started falling after a few years of having seizures and choices were limited on head protection. I discovered Ribcap and we ordered our first cap, she was able to get a bit of independence. As the years progressed she wanted another style, so she chose the Billie in Navy.
Independence and safety have greatly improved which is perfect for her and me. We are able to feel more confident in allowing her to enjoy life a lot more. She is a funny young lady with spunk and when she's sassy she's having a great day. I love the ability to pop on some style onto her head and even in a "bad day" have some fun. Thank You Ribcap for designing protection with a sense of style!"
