Adaptive clothing is designed to make life easier for seniors and the aged as well as people with disabilities who may experience difficultly when dressing. This may be due to an inability to manipulate buttons and zippers or for those with arthritis, limited shoulder and arm movement. Adaptive clothing typically offers solutions such as open back and velcro© (hook & loop) designs that allow our clients to maintain their independence and style.
