A Girl Who Knows Where She Wants to Go:

Kiana’s Story

Diagnosis: Spastic Triplegia Cerebral Palsy

Kiana is a five-year-old girl with a glowing personality. She loved her manual wheelchair, but limited control of her right arm made it difficult to manuever.

ATP Lindsey helped Kiana and her family find the perfect power chair: a Zippie ZM 310 by Sunrise Medical. Now Kiana has better access to her community and independence at school. She loves going on walks with her family and playing with friends.

“For the first time, Kiana was able to
decide where she wanted to go and
fully exercised her opinion when she
didn’t want to do something. Never
before has she had that opportunity.
She is one very happy little girl!”
Lindsey, Kiana’s Assistive Technology Professional

Elliott’s Story

Five-year-old Elliott from Raleigh is living life to the fullest with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. From sports to school, he stays active and independent thanks to mobility equipment and a strong support team. With energy, heart, and help from Numotion, he’s always on the move.

Jessica’s Story

Dr. Jessica Nagel, a marine scientist diagnosed with ALS at 30, lost her ability to speak and type after a tracheotomy in 2025. With help from Numotion Speech Solutions and her consultant Yvonne, she began using the Smartbox, a device that lets her communicate using eye gaze technology. The Smartbox has restored her voice and independence, allowing her to work, connect, and create again. Jessica calls it “life-changing” and says it’s helped her keep doing what she loves.

Bethany’s Story

Bethany, born with mild cerebral palsy, found inspiration to dance after seeing a ballerina perform with a girl in a wheelchair. She pursued adaptive ballet and founded BethAbility to educate kids about disabilities. When her wheelchair broke down, Numotion provided a new one that restored her independence. Now, she inspires others through adaptive figure skating, sharing the freedom Numotion helped her regain.
