- Annotation: The article proposes a general structural and information model of the process of designing clothing for people with disabilities in the system “person with disabilities – clothing – environment – rehabilitation and adaptive effect” taking into account the specifics of functional, social, aesthetic, ergonomic and op-erational requirements applicable to the target audience under consideration. Wider functional capabilities of adaptive clothing compared to traditional household ones are defined. The types of impacts exerted by professionally designed adaptive clothing are revealed. The process of creating inclusive clothing is considered, including the following main positions: identification of life activity features in accordance with the disease; expert determination of requirements for adaptive clothing for various categories of users; identification of specific features of products, including the development of innovative methods and solutions; expert assessment of the quality of products according to the most significant criteria, taking into account the consumer’s nosology.
