[blparent] Braill Clothes for Blind Children and adults

[Tammy]

Hi,

I couldn't have said it better!  And while we're on the subject of clothing, 
does anybody have any ideas of how to label a child's clothes so their 
teachers etc know who's clothes they are?  Everything I send to school with 
my kids is supposed to have their name on it but I have no way of doing that 
aside from letting the teachers do it when the kid's get to school.  The 
teachers never mind but I'd really like to be able to label my kid's stuff 
myself reliably in a way that both the school and I can find them if they 
somehow end up in lost and found for whatever reason.

Thanks,

Tammy

Nice thought, I suppose.  But I'm not sure why it's important for blind
children and adults to be singled out and have clothing made lovingly for
them so they can have a sense of pride.  I don't get that.  We have a sense
of pride in who we are because we are who we are, and that's it.  We can
wear anything from polo shirts to couteur and still have that sense of
pride.

I got this from the crew at Blind Bargains.

Braille Code Inc. is a company which has created a line of clothing
especially for blind and visually impaired people. Created by a mother
of a legally blind child, their lineup includes shirts and accessories
which feature a braille patch which aids in proper dressing and
matching of clothes. For instance, on polo shirts, the patch is on the
inside of the bottom of the back of the shirt. You can browse their
products from their website.
Here's some more information from the company's website. "Braille
Code is not just a clothing line; it’s a brand that represents
independence, self-confidence and pride. I want  the kids to wear the
brand and claim it because it was made lovingly for them. My wish is
for them to step out and let the world know that they now have a
clothing name especially made for them. My goal is to help and give
parents like me a way to give our children a sense of pride,
independence and acceptance of who they are with Style!"
