CAPR-Style – Adaptive clothing for disabled people

“As a mother of three young boys, time is not something I have in abundance. My youngest son has a neurological condition that prevents him from being able to move voluntarily; meaning he is 100% dependant on others. Due to this, dressing and undressing him is an extremely difficult task, especially when it comes to putting on t-shirts, jumpers and jackets. Looking for solutions already available, it was clear there wasn’t anything very appealing or trendy for older children or teenagers, nor any products that would satisfy or solve our littlest man’s dressing challenge.

It was then that I decided to start CAPR-Style, to produce a complete line of clothing, a whole wardrobe that solves the daily challenges of dressing disabled children, young and old, bringing them fashion and style, and with the carers needs discretely incorporated into the items”, the mother explained.

CAPR-Style is complete line of clothing that caters exclusively for children with special needs and solves the daily challenges brought by dressing children with disabilities and physical restrictions. Some of the garments in the CAPR-Style range present features such as flaps in the fabric in order to dissimulate the gap for medical necessities such as G-tubes, IV tubes, catheters and colostomy bags. They offer adaptive clothing that is discreet, such as a jumper that opens and closes with Velcro at the back as well as a versatile jacket with openings both at the back and front that also comes with a detachable colar.

Each CAPR-Style garment is handmade and products can be customized and adjusted to fit the individual’s personal needs. The garments are designed specifically to adapt to the toileting and changing needs of people with severe disabilities, such as motor neuron disease, spinal injury, cerebral palsy and also for wheelchair users and those with incontinence problems.
