[quote=Anonymous]My NT son (now 17) still couldn't do it in 3rd grade and was super embarrassed at a bowling party where the host mom had to tie his shoes for him. I had tried to teach him before but he was a pain about it so I had long given up. After that he wanted a pair of shoes with shoe laces, which he promptly got. He wore them to school before he had fully mastered it but apparently one of his friends was super supportive and helped out a lot. He had it within a week or so. I worked with my SN son, now 13, on it for years. It finally clicked during the pandemic when he started playing tennis twice a week (lace shoes) and did a bowling class (also lace shoes). He is still slow, and sometimes needs help if the shoes have big knots, but he is independent enough I think he will just continue to improve. His next shoes will probably be tie shoes, but I'm waiting for his orthotics to switch over to a slimmer style first, so they fit in the shoes more easily.[/quote]
