Sometimes things can be so difficult for little Bug. We’ve tried for months to teach little Bug how to lace a shoe with a cardboard cutout, lacing cards even tennis shoes but with no luck. This summer Bug took OT and his instructor loaned us a teaching tool that made all the difference in the world. He learned to lace his shoe in 3 days. Yes, can you believe it, 3 days! I was blown away and he was so proud of himself. We are still working on the bow tying but we got half of it down so we are both so proud. Just look at him go.
Yes, it takes some money to get these teaching tools but isn’t your little one worth it? Of course, he or she is! Ask around, check out second hand stores as was recommend to me or even ask the special education department or staff and your school if they know of any places you can find these teaching tools at a good price. Just seeing my little Bug glow at his success just made my heart overflow with pride, love and joy!

My son ties his shoes, but we never worked on lacing the shoe.
Your video is great! Hooray for you! I’m so glad I could inspire you.
