i shoes tie will::We practiced every day and we went step by step.
I will write the shoe tying steps for a child with right hemiplegia.
Step one: with right hand, hold left lace.
Step two: with left hand, twist right lace around left lace.
Step three: with both hands, pull the laces tight.
Step two: hand off the loop which is in the left hand to the right hand.
Step one: with the left hand, bring the leftunlooped lace around the rightlooped lace.
Step two: with left hand, form a loop with the unlooped lace by pushing it with the pointer finger through the opening between the two laces which was formed by doing the previous step.
Step three: with left hand, grip the newly formed loop.
Step four: with both hands, pull the loops tight.
You might be on lesson i for months.
When he accomplishes one lesson, then go on to the next.
And of course, feel free to break the lessons down even further.
In the end, it gave him independence.
This last step is important as some children try to go under the knot as well.
The rabbit story actually confused my son.
What finally worked was getting him to realize the function of the index finger in the process: not only does it help pinch the loop lace, but it also creates the hole that the wrap lace follows through.
I learned this when i worked at a gift wrap counter one december; you can make a fast, nicelooking bow that way.
Then gather a loop out of each lace and tie those two loops in a half knot.
I put dots on the laces to be the folding points so that my son would judge the loop size right.
No frustration on judgement of placement to ensure the loop is not too long or too short.
It has a rhythmic verse which gives instructions for each step of shoe tying, one one each page.
The book is attached to a larger cardboard which has a picture of a shoe with holes punched and an actual lace for practice.
One side of the lace is red and the other is yellow.
If anyone is interested i will get publisher information.
