This is what I hate about this site. The judgement! 2 out of my 3 children have SPECIAL NEEDS/ ADDITIONAL NEEDS! It's a deal, a great deal and all someone is bothered about is the title.
Great find

In the grand scheme of things, as per Vinegar's comment, a child being big for their age constitutes special needs (in terms of clothing) as well, given they have needs outside of the "norm", no?

The Op didn't mention any disabilities, neither did anyone who replied to your post...the only person who linked the term "special needs" with children who have disabilities, was yourself.

Anyway, heat added.

Hot!!! Thanks for posting.
Finally a quality mainstream retailer has started to bridge the gap, even if its only in a small way. Its a real struggle for parents finding larger sizes from mainstream retailers.
It annoys me that large specialist retailers have the ability to massively over inflate prices for these products because they have the monopoly in a niche market. People with disabilities &/or their families/carers are left without choice & are forced to buy from a handfull of companies, most of which are the same company but disguised behind multiple traiding names.
If more mainstream retailers offered ranges (even just basic one's), it would force the hands of the specialist retailers and hopefully make for fairer pricing.

Here's what I've come to expect of people working hard to be offended on behalf of others. I'll tell the story in a HUKD context, but you see this nonsense in all walks of life.

1) Someone posts a deal and uses a term that someone is uncomfortable with - always on behalf of others of course!
2) That person raises a stink. The deal gets changed, removed, voted down, whatever.
3) Someone who would have benefited from the deal and is in general unconcerned about the words well meaning people are using does not see the deal.
4) Equality is achieved! Well done comrades, we've protected poor minority group X from seeing a slightly uncomfortable term once more!

This is a great idea, not only for special needs children but I found with my last baby that we had to give up on vests early because she was too big for the standard sizes. This range will be good for my latest chunky baby. Thanks.

This is great but I think the description "special needs" needs revising.

Don't be silly, it is what it is. Some people have needs beyond those of other people hence special needs.

It shouldn't be targeted at children with "special needs" what about children that are big for their age? Also I work with children with disabilities & this range of clothing or the title in this post shouldn't be aimed at disabled or children with "special needs" it's not necessary to put. It's suitable for any child of the age it's targeted at

Great post for those of us with special needs choldren and you can put what ever you want in your title. Thanks for the post

2016 special needs :disappointed:

I take it m&s were not daft enough to name it special needs clothing ?
