Special needs parents are beyond excited about Target's new adaptive clothing line, launching November 22. The new clothes will be available on Target.com, joining the sensory friendly items already available in Target's line of adaptive clothing.
While clothing lines for kids (and adults) with special needs aren?t necessarily a novelty, nearly all of these lines are complicated by at least one of three big issues.

1. These clothes can be incredibly hard to find. Availability is definitely an issue. In my experience, you have to buy online, or not at all.

2. They're also expensive. Most vendors hand-make the clothing for each individual child after purchase. So the price per piece is usually out of this world -- especially for a child who will outwear and outgrow clothing in a flash. 3. The clothing available to parents like me just doesn't look normal. Most of the apparel options are very obviously adaptive clothing. So we must choose between functionality and looking more out of place.
Trust me, #3 is a big thing for parents who have children with special needs. We want our kids to be comfortable and wear clothes that work for them. But we also want them to feel like they fit in.
