I'm able to write print letters from memory which is helpful but if you are not able to hand print letters you can always do a unique thing like write a X or put a dot of puffy paint on the tape. something that will easily identify that the item is your child's clothes is all the school needs.  They make tape in every color and every design imaginable. You can find a plethora of options in the craft section of nearly any box store. You could pick up zebra tape for example and everyone will know that the zebra tape is on only your child's clothing. Hope this helps!

>> 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.

>> 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.

>> 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!"
