The Israel-based NGO Beit Issie Shapiro has partnered with industrial design students from the Holon Institute of Technology to create a series of Do It Yourself (DIY) costumes for children with disabilities ahead of the Jewish holiday of Purim.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new initiative aims to help \u201cparents of children with disabilities who use walkers and wheelchairs to create a dream-costume for their child which highlights their mobility aid and makes them feel magical,\u201d according to a Thursday announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based in Ra\u2019anana, the mission of Beit Issie Shapiro is to create more inclusivity and equal opportunities around the world for people with disabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Israeli NGO has posted on its website<\/a> four video tutorials explaining how to make butterfly, airplane pilot, DJ or candy shop costumes designed to be adapted for different mobility devices \u2014 including a stroller, walker, wheelchair and motorized wheelchair. The website also provides written instructions, lists of supplies needed and design patterns that can be printed at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cDream Costume\u201d initiative has worked with the Holon Institute of Technology for seven years to help children who use a mobility aid bring their costume ideas to life. The joint initiative allows \u201cchildren with disabilities to stand out among their peers in a positive way, as their wheelchair or walker becomes their greatest asset,\u201d the organization said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe realized the incredible demand of this initiative and wanted to ensure that every child, in Israel and around the world, can feel like a star in their costumes,\u201d said Adi Shpigel, director of Social Impact Projects at the Holon Institute of Technology. \u201cThe open-design templates will allow us to reach even further and allow families to benefit and connect through the creativity process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ahmir Lerner, Beit Issie Shapiro\u2019s executive director, added, \u201cBy sharing the know-how to create adaptive costumes, and for the first time making it accessible to families around the world, we hope to create true impact in our society and bring Purim-joy for people with disabilities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
