[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 118352, member: 1967"] I had never thought of clothes as an issue relating to special needs' children in an educational setting. I always learn something from this board. I can understand your concern but I can also see the school's point of view. If you daughter is allowed to wear something other than the school uniform, the other students (and parents) will ask why she is allowed to when they aren't. That would be hard for the school to answer since they can't bring up your child's special needs without violating privacy issues. It puts them between a rock and a hard place. That being said, here in Atlanta, public schools are not allowed to require school uniforms. Some schools have adopted a "voluntary" school uniform but it can not be legally enforced. I would think that would be true everywhere but I'm not sure about that. I would also worry that your daughter will be a target for the other students if she dresses differently. Personally, I would work with the school to see if you can find something close that would work. I did a quick google search and found this pair of girl's jeans in the Penney's catalog: [url="http://www3.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?DeptID=42249&CatID=50652&GrpTyp=SIZ&ItemID=12c7471&attrtype=&attrvalue=&CmCatId=42249|42445|50649|50652"]Sand colored jeans[/url] I don't know what size your daughter wears but I found a pair of khaki jeans at Penney's that I wear all of the time. They are dressy enough that I can wear them to school and yet are comfortable and sturdy. I hope that the clothes issue can be turned into a win-win situation for everyone. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
