Halloween costumes for special needs children

As reported by bizjournals:
Target will offer four costumes this Halloween that cater to children with special needs, including covers that transform a wheelchair into a pirate ship or princess carriage and costumes without the tags and seams that can be problematic for children with sensory-processing disorders. 
The collection is an extension of the disability-friendly clothing the retailer added to its Cat & Jack line two year ago. The Cat & Jack pieces feature heat-transferred labels in place of tags, flat seams and one-dimensional graphics designed to minimize discomfort when in contact with the skin as well as pull-on pants cut more generously to accommodate diapers at an older age...

In April, the company added adaptive pieces to its Pillowfort kids’ furniture collection that accommodate both the need for stimulation and for calming, per Fast Company, including a foam “crash pad,” a desk chair that rocks, a weighted blanket and bean bag chairs with waterproof covers.
