As a fitness instructor I help senior citizens stay active in their daily lives with exercise, stretches and sometimes laughter. My brother helps senior citizens when their daily activity has become too difficult to handle. We have both seen, too often, how difficult life can become for senior citizens who loose their ability to stay active or take care of themselves, as they grow older.
Sometimes, when daily activity has become too painful or too difficult to handle something as simple as innovative clothing designed to make life easier can make a huge difference in a person’s life. Fortunately, Discover the uses of Adaptive clothing, by Rewards4life, shows us the benefits of adaptive clothing, clothing made for individuals with specific needs (young or old). The article is informative, well written and organized. The introduction draws you in with words like "dignity," "pride," "stress and pain free". Even the pictures are attractive and heartwarming.
The rest of the page offers helpful information, situations and issues in which using adaptive clothing would make life easier and more dignified for the people that wear them, as well as the caregivers who must look after them. For example, we learn why adaptive clothing with a zipper in the back would help keep a patient with Dementia from disrobing or undressing himself in public. We learn why adaptive clothing with Velcro would be more suitable for someone who has joint pain and cannot button, zip, or tie her clothes because of this pain.
I would like to see more heart-warming pictures added to it as well as more pictures of the adaptive clothing up close. A video of the clothing in use would also be helpful. As with any article I would like to see green alternatives, such as organic adaptive clothing. Besides that, the entire work serves a good purpose, to inform the public of products that can make difficult living not as difficult and a lot more freeing. Thumbs up!
You can give it a thumbs up too, leave feedback and share the link to it with family and friends.

You've hit on a number of important themes here in both in your writing and in the Adaptive Clothing article — dignity, pride… yes and laughter too. What really hit me on this lens was this quote: The ageing aren't only the old; the ageing are all of us.- Alexandra Robbin. How true that is. Adaptive clothing is not just a good idea, it is something that any one of us could need, and it's good to find what might be a depressing topic introduced in such a positive way.
I think as we deal with seniors it is important to show compassion, try to put ourselves in their shoes. Adaptive clothing is one way that can help seniors live a little more comfortably. I liked your suggestions for making this lens even better and I think Rewards4Life has taken your advice to heart. Great review!
