"It was fair to say I was quite a different person before boccia," she said. "It's increased my social confidence. "I was introverted before, it's helped me come out of my shell and it's almost like physio to keep my body moving. "With muscular dystrophy, they say if you don't use it, you lose it, so this has kept the intensity right for me."

Ghiotto is a boccia ramp designed to support social interaction among children with and without disabilities in environments. Developed by Diego Reggiani as a university project within a design laboratory at Politecnico di Milano, it was selected for the shortlist of the iF Design Student Award. Rooted in the principles of universal design, the project addresses a crucial challenge: enabling children who use wheelchairs to build meaningful relationships from a young age.
