Children’s clothing and accessories are designed for typical children. So, what happens when your child isn’t typical? I found myself in this spot as a new mom to my daughter, Harpor. Harpor is one of less than 100 children in this world diagnosed with a rare genetic disease called ZTTK.
Harpor is special in many ways. She needs SMOs (braces) for her ankles to help her walk, she needs a g-tube to help her eat and she is a lot smaller (<1st percentile) for her weight, despite being a more average height.
Finding clothing and accessories for Harpor has been a constant challenge. She cannot comfortably wear typical shoes, yet the shoes designed for SMOs are clunky and heavy, presenting their own challenges for Harpor as she learns to walk. It’s almost impossible to find bottoms or swimsuits that fit Harpor because her proportions are so unique. Clothing and accessory options for Harpor are extremely limited and plain.
Just because Harpor isn’t typical doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have access to fashionable clothing. Around 10% of children in the US have some form of disability. For those with physical disabilities, I believe they also deserve to have access to fun and fashionable clothing that is adapted to their special needs.
