248-08-18-17 PATTI + RICKY Online Department Store for
Individuals with Disabilities
Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look
at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to
help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or
other special needs!
Shopping at Macy's, Nordstrom, and other department stores can
be both challenging and discouraging for some individuals with
disabilities. Many individuals in wheelchairs for instance,
struggle finding jackets, jeans, and more that work with their
daily needs. This is where PATTI + RICKY comes
in.
PATTI + RICKY is a new online shopping experience that offers
stylish and functional designer products for people with all sorts
of disabilities. The online catalogue offers products for
women, men, and children. A few of their current products
include:
- Adaptable clothing like pants, jackets, and tops
- Fidgets and stylish fidget jewelry
- Hearing Aid and Cochlear Implant Cuffs
- Braille accessories and clothing
- And much, much more.
What’s even cooler is that 10% of all PATTI + RICKY's annual
profits are donated to nonprofit organizations that support
inclusion and provide access for individuals with
disabilities.
