Cool, New Clothing Options for Children with Disabilites
This week, Tommy Hilfiger, in collaboration with Runway of Dreams, launched a line of adaptive clothing line just for children with special needs.

The items are priced identically to the versions for typically developing children. Find out more. Source: Disability Scoop
