Maya talks about Rare Wear and her little boy Lloyd

Mandy and Kate chat to Maya, founder and CEO of Rare Wear - adaptive fashion for kids with disabilities - and Pea mum to six-year-old Lloyd, who has a rare genetic condition called Iqsec2 Associated Disorder and lives with developmental, medical and mobility issues. Maya chats all about Lloyd’s birth when she was just eighteen years old, and the long journey towards diagnosis when he was 2 and a half years old. Lloyd is a full-time wheelchair user and is peg-fed, and is a chill and happy little peashoot who adores cars and 80s rock music, and is a good big brother to his little sister Elsie. Maya started Rare Wear as she was finding it hard to buy clothes for Lloyd that were easy and comfortable - pants should not be hard! Rare Wear offers adaptive tops, bottoms, accessories and swimwear that make life easier for kids and carers. In her spare time, Maya has also worked full time at Supercheap Auto sharing her mad car skills taught to her by her dad, is doing her honours year in health sciences at uni with a view to doing a PhD next year, and also undertakes community advisory roles with a range of organisations, including SWAN Australia.
