Introduction:  Clothing refers to items used for protection, adornment, identification of any individual and other specific purposes while students with physical disabilities are specifically to select and maintain their clothing as their colleague who are not disabled.


Purpose: The study examined the challenges in selection and maintenance of clothing among people with physical disabilities in South West Nigeria.

Data obtained were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, mean score, standard deviation while hypotheses were tested using t-test, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC), Kendall’s Tau and Spearman’s Rho to test the significant correlation in the effect of clothing selection and maintenance of people with physical disabilities in special schools and rehabilitation centre.


Result: The findings of the study revealed that there were significant differences in the challenges facing by student with physical disabilities in selection of clothing by gender. Also, there exists a high positive correlation between effect of clothing selection and maintenance of people with physical disabilities in special schools and rehabilitation centres.


Conclusion: Clothing selection and maintenance of people with physical disabilities should be attended to so as to meet the standard of their living and integrate with other colleagues both inside and outside home environment.
