Slip on Sneakers for Shawn who gets easily frustrated with tying his shoes

Posted Jan 30, 2019
Shawn is having difficulty tying his shoes. He has worked on this in therapy for a long time and keeps having trouble with it. He wishes for a pair of Slip on Sneakers so he can stop worrying about his shoe strings. Often he has tremors in his hands and this contributes to the difficulty he has tying shoes. This would make his life much easier.

Shawn is 18 years old and lives in NC

Shawn is a wonderful young man who, despite struggling with the lasting effects of abuse and neglect, has a bright and caring spirit. With many special needs, he requires a high level of care and attention, but he thrives when he is part of a loving family. Shawn enjoys working on fixing things and finding satisfaction in hands-on activities. He has a fondness for Chick-fil-A and loves listening to music in his downtime. Driven by his passion for helping others, Shawn aspires to become a teacher someday, eager to make a positive impact in the lives of those around him.
