Clothing and accessories give us a way to express ourselves. As a parent of a child with disabilities, whenever I’m out and I see someone wearing a “Be Kind” or “Advocate like a Mother” T-shirt, I’m immediately drawn to them.
Specially made apparel, like T-shirts, water bottle stickers, lanyards and hoodies, can help people with disabilities and their loved ones foster awareness and create a sense of community. These websites offer a great opportunity to buy gear that showcases your belief in advocacy while honoring each person’s lived experience. Whether you’re celebrating Disability Pride Month or just want to show some love to one of the best parts of human diversity, these shoppable items will do the trick.

1. Nfiniti
I love shirts like this one from the Nfiniti Etsy shop that says, “Proud mom for someone with cerebral palsy.” This is especially true since I own it in pink! It can be custom designed for relatives other than "mom," like dad, sister, aunt, etc., and it comes in a variety of colors.
2. GenThreadApparel
We also own a few shirts from GenThreadApparel, such as this one that my son wears, which says, “Cerebral palsy can’t stop me from being awesome.” The site sells numerous variations of the shirt representing many different disabilities including spina bifida, hearing loss, Rett and Angelman syndromes.
3. Disability Creations
Disability Creations is a great place to find bespoke and artfully crafted designs featuring disabled people, as well as symbolic aids like wheelchairs, braille characters, hearing aids, the disability pride flag, and more. They also sell bags, shirts, stickers, and art with original designs supporting the disability community.
4. Redbubble
Slogans such as, “All of Us are Different,” “Cure Ableism,” and “Celebrate Neurodiversity,” can be found on T-shirts at Redbubble. The site also sells phone cases, stickers, and notebooks with disability pride phrases such as, “Accessibility for Everyone,” and “All Behavior is a Form of Communication.”
5. The Littlest Warrior
Created by a mom of a child with Down syndrome, The Littlest Warrior site sells disability pride items such as T-shirts for adults, kids and dolls. There’s also a large selection of stickers, patches and even mugs. It’s hard to pick just one, but my personal favorites are “Be Kind,” and, “Advocate like a Mother.”
6. URevolution
URevolution is a great site that sells inclusive T-shirts, hoodies, and hats with phrases like, “If you can be anything, be inclusive.” They also sell buttons, scarves, and other accessories so you can show your pride without changing your outfit. While you’re on their site, be sure to check out the magazine and blog posts.
7. WildflowerandPenny
WildflowerandPenny, another Etsy shop, sells beautifully designed T-shirts with phrases like, “Disabled isn’t a bad word,” and, “Disability Rights are Human Rights.” I may need to order the one that says, “Your Ableism is Showing.”
8. 3E Love
"Embrace. Educate. Empower.” is the credo of 3E Love. The online shop is the creation of Annie Hopkins, who also designed the original “wheelchair heart symbol.” 3E Love apparel encourages people to embrace diversity, educate the community, and cultivate acceptance and love through the sale of T-shirts, hoodies, pajama pants, lanyards, car decals, and even temporary tattoos.
