Designer Clothes for Kids with Special Needs
As parents of children with special needs, managing the everyday tasks that may otherwise be taken for granted can be a challenge. New Jersey mom, Mindy Scheier, met the daily challenge of dressing her son Oliver, who has rigid-spine muscular dystrophy, with style – literally.
A fashion designer by trade, Scheier created designs with features helpful to a range of disabilities, including magnetic closures and adjustable necklines. She has since partnered with Tommy Hilfiger, whose 2016 spring collection features children’s pieces with her design modifications.
