Adaptive Pants
Soft, breezy and stylish, these pants pair perfectly with a festive sweater for a family photo, or a cool shirt on a warm summer’s day. Available in both men’s and women’s sizes, these side-opening pants use Velcro for easy access, and are reversible, allowing them to be opened on the left or right, which can come in handy for manoeuvring around injuries. They include flat seams and no tags for less irritation or sensory issues, and the wide leg allows for easier movement and access to your legs if a brace or splint needs adjusting. The black fabric is very soft, and it goes well with shirts of every colour!

These nifty shirts boast smartly placed openings secured by adaptive Velcro and magnetic closures, perfect for anyone who needs a little extra help with an injury or reduced mobility in their upper limbs or prefers a quicker way to get ready for a holiday party. Like their pant counterparts, they are also reversible and avoid tags and raised seams for ultimate comfort.
Accessible Polo Shirts
For a slightly more upscale shirt to wear to the end-of-year work party, why not gift your friend or family one with these adaptive polo shirts? They come in a variety of colours and sizes, and feature Velcro openings at the collar, giving more room to slip on and off easily over your head – allowing your friend or family member to get dressed themselves and boost their independence.
