How do I remove metal button from Jeans? Child with Autism can't do buttons?
I don't care if it makes a hole. She can't do buttons and thereforce can't wear jeans like other kids. On other pants that don't have metal buttons, I can put a button on the outide of the pants (with glue) and then put a snap on the inside. But those metal ones are too hard to remove. Someone said use a hammer but I'm not sure exactly what was meant. Need instructions that are more clear. Thanks. Rosie's mom.
My daughter is on the spectrum as well. As Kacky mentioned My daughter also got better with buttons as she has gotten older (They still give her some fits occaisionally, but for the most part I don't have to do them for her.
We went with a couple of options on Jeans.
She would just not button them and wear a large shirt over the waist to cover this up. (She hates tight or snug clothing so this option suited her especially well.)
We tried at one point using a hair elastic - you loop the elastic around the metal button, then thread the other end of the loop thru the opening and back over the button. This will also loosen the waist band.
Her difficulty with this was the change in routine. She still very much is a creature of habit and routine and ritual.
Remember that there are other clothes that work really well that other kids wear. Sweat pants and knit stretch pants are great and we still wear those pretty often (She's in her early teens) Also there are capri pants with elastic in the waist for summer - if she will wear capris or shorts.
As for taking off the button -- two pair of pliers one heavier pair holds the larger part of the button the outside. The smaller needle nose pliers slowly pries up the back part of the rivet. It will be very hard to do and takes a good amount of strength.
Physical therapy helps tremendously, and if the school is refusing to help out, then insurence will usually cover it.
