How many of your special needs kids struggle with tying their shoes? How many parents out there would love a better alternative and more options than just velcro? If you answered yes to any of these two questions, this post may just change your life or at least make it easier.

I’m working with Hickies, maker of the no tie shoelaces, to bring this potentially life altering product to the Autism and special needs community.

There’s not a whole lot that can said about Hickies aside from they’re fricking awesome. 

When I stumbled across these a few weeks ago, they were marketed to people ranging from your average everyday people to athletes.  There are obvious benefits that these people can receive by switching to Hickies and ditching their old laces.

With Hickies, your shoes never come loose or untied. There are several different ways to utilize Hickies in order to make them work for you, based on how tight or loose you like your shoes to be.

What I saw when I stumbled across these was an incredibly simple product that has the potential to change lives in the special needs community.

Kids with Autism can often struggle with fine motor skills.  Shoe tying can be a very frustrating, even sometimes impossible task for a child on the Autism Spectrum.  My kids all struggled with shoe tying, and in the case of my Emmett, shoe tying has proven to be an absolute nightmare.

More pictures will be added soon

We’ve been using Hickies in my house for about a week or so now, and Emmett hasn’t complained once about his shoes.  I say this never happens because IT NEVER HAPPENS.

Hickies allow him to slip his shoes on and off without much struggle.  Most importantly, they feel uniformly tight to his feet, and that’s a crucial sensory requirement for him.

The reason I reached out to Hickies was that there are so many people in the Autism and special needs community who can benefit from these, but they first need to know they exist.  That’s where I come in.

The boys and I each received a set of Hickies (for review purposes) and promptly installed them.  They only took a few minutes, and everyone managed to install them on their own.  That’s saying something about the ease of installation because all of my kids struggle with fine motor skills and are often frustrated by tasks like this.

Even I’ve been using Hickies, and I love them.  Everyone I’ve shown them to is waiting for this post to go live so they can purchase them using my discount code.

To sum this all up, Hickies are a no tie shoelace that could very easily grant your child with Autism, who struggles with things like this, the ability to put on and take off their shoes without assistance.  This means no more velcro shoes, and it opens up many more shoe choices when it comes to purchasing shoes for children like this.

I just can’t say enough about Hickies, but you’ll be hearing more about them as I move forward.

Now for the most important part, how to purchase Hickies for you,  your child or both. I’ve partnered with Hickies to bring these independence granting, no tie shoelaces to the Autism community.  As a result, they’ve provided me with a special discount code that you will enter in at the time of purchase.  This code will grant you 20% off of your order.  It will also send a small percentage of the sale back to this site, which helps me stay online and provide for my family.  It’s a win-win situation.
