The traditional way of shoe tying is very hard for people with autism. My step-son Gabe has struggled with shoe tying his entire life. So I told Gabe that when he turns 11, his goal will be to tie his shoes. So for months I researched different ways autistic children were able to tie shoes and I found one that is very simple. Gabe got it and now he is teaching other children to tie his shoes.
Here's a coupe pictures. 3 easy easy steps.
- Eyelets
- Bunny Loop & tie
- Repeat bunny Loop & tie
Put both shoe string tips in the eye lets:
This makes two big bunny ears
Cross them & tie
Pull that tight
repeat with another loop (cross & tie)
