how someone gets dressed
We consider if someone is being assisted to get dressed, if they are getting dressed whilst seated, lying down or standing, where they are dressing or getting changed and more.
access points
We design with access in mind to allow for easier access to things such as ostomy bags, prosthetics, orthotics and medical devices.
sensory preferences
We consider sensory preferences within our designs, incorporating design features such as flat seams, printed labels / no tags and soft fabrics.
types of closures
We consider alternative fasteners to allow for ease of dressing with minimal assistance, decreased energy use and increased time efficiency.

FAQ
What is Adaptive Clothing?
Our products are adapted to include those with disability, which means all of our items have design features that make it easier for someone to get dressed or wear the clothing more comfortably. This category of fashion is often referred to as 'Adaptive Clothing'. Read more about this in our blog here.
Who can benefit from JAM's clothing?
Everyone benefits from universal design. We covered this in our blog. However, when we design our products we consider many different dressing needs. This includes but is not limited to:
- People with physical disability (including wheelchair users or someone with limb difference).
- People with fine motor difficulties (including those who have had a stroke or have arthritis).
- People with intellectual disability who may find the sequencing of dressing difficult.
- People with sensory needs such as someone who is Autistic who may find seams or tags irritating.
- People with chronic pain or chronic fatigue who need to conserve their energy or pain threshold for more meaningful tasks outside of dressing

Can I purchase items through my NDIS package?
You sure can! JAM's Adaptive Clothing items are considered 'low-cost assistive technology' by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
