AdultsProgram Description
What if your clothes were easier to wear?
About 16% of the U.S. population have a physical disability--many of which have trouble doing something we all do every morning, get dressed. Learn about adaptive clothing from Hilary Pham, the founder of Equability. This Madison based company customizes your clothing using magnets, velcro, and snap buttons to make them easier to get dressed. In this program, we'll also discuss other assistive technology and tools to help with independent living tasks.

Hilary is passionate about helping others and was inspired to create Equability after seeing her mother, Chi, struggle with her clothes and daily tasks because of arthritis and carpal tunnel.
