Sensory Considerations With Clothing
· Choose soft clothing
· Avoid tags and seams
· Choose socks that don’t slip
· Provide your child with choices
· Look for seamless and tagless underwear
· Avoid bunching
· Be flexible—winter coats are difficult for many children, heavy sweatshirts/fleece jackets may be more comfortable when it is not too cold.
· Natural materials (ie: cotton) can be more comfortable than synthetic materials
· Avoid snaps/buttons/zippers when possible
