Representation Matters At Every Age

 

When I was younger I never had or saw Disabled dolls. Now I'm a Disabled adult, I really wish they'd existed.

​

Disability is a difficult thing to adjust to, mentally, emotionally and even environmentally. If I'd seen the representation in dolls when I was a child, I'd have grown up well adjusted to Disability and the fact it isn't a bad thing. I wouldn't have felt so ashamed or lost as I came to terms with my reality.

​

Even now some Disabled dolls do exist, but representation is still missing for many of us, especially walking stick users, and that needs to change.

​

Disabled Dolly was created to enable adults and children to create representative, inclusive dolls (because they're not just for kids!). Everybody deserves to see a piece of representation that looks just like them.

 

I create colourful miniature Mobility Aids and Medical Accessories that can be used in conjunction with your existing dolls to cost-effectively transform them into a more inclusive play companion or display piece.

​

And for those that don't collect dolls, want a little something to show off their Disabled Pride or just want to support a Disabled creator, I also create Disability and doll-themed Postcards and Clip Charms that are affordable and handmade with love.
