Adaptive Clothing Styles

Adaptive clothing is a design that changes everyday clothing into styles that are easily worn by individuals with physical handicaps, diminished motor skills or with dementias. Buck and Buck has designed a variety of adaptive clothing options for you to choose from based upon our own observations and from our discussions with customers like you. Our adaptive clothing designs promote independence in dressing and personal care for the wearer for as long as possible and also provide ease in the dressing process for the caregiver. Look for our adaptive clothing symbol "AD" on our web pages.
