Make content about: Ziska tends animals at the farm

Ziska once needed a padded room to stay safe. Now 27, she happily tends animals and lives in her own on-site home.

This story

Diagnosed with epilepsy and a brain injury as a toddler, Ziska struggled with change and required an adapted room with padded walls. At age 11, she moved to a specialist residential school to access speech, occupational and behavioural therapy. Now 27, she lives in an on-site home, manages a standard bedroom, and spends three days a week tending animals at the farm.
