Parenting Special Needs Magazine • July/Aug 2021 • Meet Alec

Our handsome, well-dressed model is Alec. He is 6-years-old loves his iPad and going to the park. He has been diagnosed with left-sided hemiplegia and some vision difficulties.

Alec’s mom, Allyn, had a fun time dressing her son in his suit because “the Velcro makes it easy to put on and take off” She also found the button sizing on the waist a great thing, so there was no need to hope the pants fit correctly. She loved the shoes and especially the zipper on the side, “Alec just stepped in and out of them!”
