Philadelphia University students and UCP Best Friends early childhood program worked together on a unique project that focused on creating fashionable clothing for children with special needs. Twenty-four graduate students in the Occupational Therapy (OT) and Fashion Apparel programs at Philadelphia University collaborated on the project where they were matched with six children with motor impairments, including cerebral palsy. It all culminated in a fashion show where the fashion apparel and OT students presented their projects and the garments were modeled by the toddlers at UCP's center in Chestnut Hill.
