You have been attempting to teach your fifth-grade student, Morris, how to tie his shoes for four years. He has Down syndrome and still cannot handle the laces correctly. Morris will be starting middle school soon. What is your solution to Morris’ inability to tie his shoes?
  1. Tell Morris’ mom to tie his shoes for him because he will never learn.
  2. Provide Morris with elastic shoelaces, turning his shoes into slip-ons.
  3. Tell Morris’ mom to buy him flip flops.
  4. All of the above.
Explanation
Answer: B. You provide Morris with elastic shoelaces, turning his shoes into slip-ons. Since Morris has been working on shoe tying for four years with no progress and he has Down syndrome, adapting shoe closures is the most realistic option to help him be more independent in middle school.
