Adaptive Clothing

What is Adaptive Clothing?

Adaptive clothing is defined as clothing specially designed for people with physical disabilities, the elderly, and the infirm who may have difficulty dressing themselves due to an inability to manipulate closures, such as buttons and zippers, or due to a lack of a full range of motion required for self dressing eg. arthritis sufferers, Quadriplegics, and Paraplegics. Adaptive clothing can also be specially designed and made to suit seniors, handicapped, hospital pre & post surgery, rehabilitation or patients with temporary or permanent disability

There are several reputable companies that make adaptive clothing for children and persons with special needs using the following adaptations: flat seams to reduce friction, discrete adaptions to make the clothing look as normal as possible, easy access with snaps, velcro and stretchy fabric, roomy seat to accommodate diapers for all ages, longer rise in the back to accommodate sitting in wheelchairs, elastic waist for increased comfort and ease in dressing and meeting safety and flammability standards. In addition the same companies can also make custom clothing tailored for specific needs and challenges of each customer.
