Case studies
Daywear
These daywear garments have specific features which may enable children and young people with disabilities to dress themselves independently. Or, they may help parents and carers to dress their child quickly.
These features include:
- Back opening with a zip or Velcro (this can make dressing a child easier, or may be suitable for children who remove their clothes inappropriately);
- Wide sleeves;
- Extra strength elbows and knees.

Help and advice
These items of clothing are available in a range of sizes and colours and are suitable for both boys and girls.
Remember that the weight of fabric used in clothing is important - heavy clothes can make dressing painful and exhausting, and may restrict freedom of movement.
If your child does remove their clothes inappropriately, you may wish to view our factsheet: clothing ideas for people who rip clothing.
