Wanda Rosario is a resident at the Riverside Premier Rehabilitation and Healing Center in Manhattan. She has Parkinson's Disease, she also gets cold easily and has weakness in her arms. Wanda likes music and singing, her favorite memory is performing at amateur night at the Apollo.
Many people take getting dressed independently in the morning for granted, But every day Wanda struggles to put on her clothes and it is frustrating. Living with a disability can take away the freedom and independence of doing regular everyday activities. The lack of accessible clothing options for people with disabilities creates a barrier to greater independence.
Wanda is invited to participate in a study, in which design students attend a summer program that aims to inspire designers to make clothes that are not only stylish but also functional for people with disabilities. The first thing that Wanda did with the students talked to them about her needs and the problems she faces when putting clothes on.
The design students decided on making Wanda a rock-and-roll leather jacket, inspired by her love for music. The design students start to experiment with different styles and materials. They take into consideration things like the size of the neckline and different color patches on the inside to indicate where her arms and head go.
The students visit Wanda often to test out the prototypes. They want to make sure that she is able to dress herself and that she is comfortable. The students also test the warmth and how well she can move in it.
In the end, the design students found material that was both comfortable and warm. Wanda loved the final product of the project. She was very happy that more designers are moving towards inclusivity and that the struggles of people with disabilities are beingtaken into account when designing clothes.
