I made a simple buttons dressing frame for Ian to learn how to button and unbutton. What it had cost - a $6 frame, scraps of cloth, huge buttons that I found amongst my scrapbooking materials, and about an hour of work at the sewing machine (my first attempt to sew button-holes with this machine).
He has started practising on it for the past 2 months or so, and it was only recently that he started to apply this skill in real life. Now, he is able to take off his school uniform, although he still needed a little help buttoning it up in the morning.
Once he is more dexterous with this skill, perhaps I could try to let him learn how to tie a ribbon?
