Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TORONTO, Canada, June 5, 2006 -- As the U.S. population begins to age and family
caregivers scramble to help loved ones deal with a growing number of special needs,
Silvert\'s Adaptive Clothing expands the availability of special needs clothing in
North America. Silvert\'s has teamed up with Montreal manufacturer Création Confort
to help improve access to helpful adaptive clothing in an effort to improve the
quality of life for seniors and elderly loved ones.

\"We hear so often that family members are not aware that helpful adaptive clothing
even exists\", said Jeff Alter, president of Silvert\'s Adaptive Clothing. \"By making
senior care clothing available wholesale, we will be able to bring these remarkably
helpful clothes to more of the people who really need it.\"

\"Previously, families have had to purchase adaptive clothing by mail order, or have
had to painstakingly cut and sew regular clothing to make it suitable for their
loved ones\' special needs.\" Jeff Alter adds, \"While we are happy to provide this
clothing directly to family caregivers, we feel that we can do a better job of
helping people find adaptive clothing for their needs. That\'s why we are excited to
know that a wider array of businesses will now be able to provide senior care
clothing directly to people in their communities. As part of this commitment to help
businesses increase the awareness of adaptive clothing, we will not be carrying this
new line of clothing in our own retail operations.\"

Jeff Alter also notes, \"This is a wonderful opportunity for businesses who want to
serve, or who already serve, seniors in their community.\"

Adaptive clothing is specially designed to make dressing easier for elderly people
and seniors with special needs. Additionally, this clothing allows a caregiver to
dress a senior without struggling with arm or leg stiffness.

Adaptive clothing offers the following special features:

-Dressing without having to raise the arms of seniors who are unable to stretch
-This clothing allows a caregiver to dress a senior with as little pain as possible
-Adapted pants can be slipped on from a seated position, making it a great help to
those who use a wheelchair
-There are attractive hospital gowns that provide dignity and privacy to the wearer
-Adaptive clothing can also help reduce the level of frustration that nursing staff
feel when caring for patients in nursing homes
