School blouses with poppers not buttons?

My dd is starting high school in September. She has AS and dyspraxia and really struggles with small buttons.
I had the idea that a blouse with poppers/press studs would make life easier but googled extensively and I can't find anything.
it's a bit of a long shot but I wondered if anyone else has seen any. Or has any alternative suggestions?

hmmm haven't seen poppers, but could have sworn i've seen zip ones... just googling now

or could she wear a polo shirt?

i would expect the school to be able to make allowances for this kind of thing.

You could sew press studs beneath the buttons for her? Then any blouse could be converted?

Sorry, just had a call and had to go out in a hurry.
this - I thought about polo shirts but she is very keen to be like everyone else so would prefer to get round it if I can.
Js - now that is a fantastic idea. I would never have thought of that in a million years. That's exactly what I am going to do.
Ah, I can tick one off the enormous list of preparations for High school.

don't know if these would be worth a look?

Ninja - they might be worth a look. I could order one to test how "discreet" the velcro is. That's an interesting site actually. I'll have a look around, thanks for that.

Woe thanks ninja! My dd is 3 and has a severe button phobia. Am always on look out for buttonless things!
