For shoes, Claire has had slip-on’s such as Crocs mot of her life.  She has also dabbled in velcro.  We recently branched out to real shoelace shoes, some running shoes that she loves.  It took her a lot of practice to learn to tie these shoes herself, but she’s officially able to do it on her own as of today.  And by the way, the “rabbit through the hole” analogy for tying shoes was officially not helpful to her.
