Ross Daniel Adaptive Apparel

Established in 2009, Ross Daniel Adaptive Apparel (RDAA) is more than a designer and maker of adaptive clothing, we are fashion pioneers and advocates who are filling a niche for the special needs community. We are driven by a fashion initiative that is in response to the lack of sensitivity by clothing manufacturers to the needs of physically challenged – fashion conscious – children and teens.

There are 23 million parents in the U.S. who have at least one special needs child. Children who wear leg braces or ankle-foot orthotics (AFOs) have limited options when it comes to adaptive socks, which need to be worn with AFOs. To make matters worse, many of these children are mainstreamed at school and are acutely aware of their differences.
