Okay, so a lot of people have been asking me about the T-shirts, and most of the comments have been fantastic, however, there were two people who asked me if by putting slogans on the shirts, it is setting our kids apart. Sorry to burst your bubble, but as much as it shouldn’t be the case, it’s the wheelchair that sets them apart. The slogans are just a great way of making people realise, that you don’t get to stare and be derogatory, just because our kids are different.
If most kids and adults were stared at or teased, they would be able to have their say, not everyone can do that. And as a parent or carer, it would be easy to get involved in fights on a daily basis about this. So instead, the slogans get the message across without having to get into a confrontation. Many kids are gaining confidence from wearing them. 100% of the time, they stop people staring, or actually make them realise they were staring in the first place.
So far the comments from kids and parents wearing the shirts have been amazing. They are raising awareness, making people realise that ‘it’s rude to stare’, that even if a child can’t tell you, they notice if you are being derogatory. And remember, they aren’t just for kids, one of our best sellers is actually a bright pink hoodie saying ‘wheelchair babe’, and the majority of them are sold to elderly ladies in wheelchairs…fantastic. Of course a few elderly gentlemen have caught on and sales of ‘chicks dig the chair’ in adult sizes are on the rise. Hmmm!
A couple of people also asked if they have special fastenings for easy fitting. All I can say is, that we don’t dress differently just because we know we are going to be sitting down all day, so we don’t provide those for kids just because they are going to be sitting own all day. These types of clothes, would set them apart in a less positive way. What we want are ordinary, affordable clothes in ordinary colours, just with great slogans to reflect their personalities. I know that specialist clothing may be more necessary as people get older, adn its personal choice, but its not something my son would want. He wants trendy jeans just like his friends.
My son’s favourite slogan is ‘my other wheelchairs a porsche’, not only does it make people smile, but it makes them realise that he isn’t insecure about his disability. He has no choice but to embrace it, and he thinks everyone else should too.
I hope this answers your questions, if not then let me know.

(Recorded 21st May) If anyone’s going to Poole (Dorset), pay a visit to the Boiler Room. It’s an awesome record/knick-knack shop by the Quay and it’s where I got my Japanese import of “Heaven Tonight”. They sell a lot of obscure psychedelia and rockabilly as well as a huge amount of other stuff.
