Innovative Aging Episode 3: Dressing With Dignity: Can Adaptive Apparel Promote ADL Success?

Nicole Cuervo, founder and CEO of Springrose, joins host Carol Chiang, OTR/L, CAPS, ECHM, CHAMP, to explore how adaptive apparel can make dressing more accessible, dignified, and empowering for your patients. Drawing on her background in human-centered design and deep collaboration with rehab professionals, Nicole shares how innovative clothing solutions are transforming an often-overlooked ADL. She and Carol dig into clinical challenges, emotional impacts, and practical strategies you can use today. Join us as we rethink dressing as more than a task, it's a pathway to independence and identity.


Learning Objectives

  • Analyze the evidence supporting adaptive apparel as a clinical solution for supporting dressing-related independence and participation in people with physical or cognitive limitations
  • Determine situations in which adaptive apparel provides the most benefit to individuals experiencing dressing challenges due to pain, range-of-motion limitations, tremors, or caregiver reliance
  • Solve patient case scenarios that involve selecting and clinically applying adaptive apparel to address dressing-related performance barriers in ADLs
