A GUIDE TO ADAPTIVE APPAREL FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE

Adaptive apparel includes garments that have been modified to meet the
needs of individuals with disabilities or individuals who require just a bit
more assistance. There are many growing brands that support children
requiring altered clothing to support parents and caregivers with helping
their little ones get dressed. Occupational therapists help families and
children work on dressing skills through the practice of fine motor skills,
coordination, sequencing, and other related self-care activities. As always,
it is best to discuss the adaptive apparel you are interested in with a
healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for your child.
