 The biggest challenges that kids face with the safety badge are issues with memorization and being able to tie their shoes. If the issue is likely to resolve over time (a 7 year old may be able to do things that a 5 year old can't), you may wish to give the child time to practice and master the skill. However, if it is a developmental or motor delay that is likely to persist, you may want to adjust the requirements. For example, if a kid has motor delays and struggles with tying shoes, but can reliably put on their own velcro shoes and resecure them as necessary, that can meet the requirement. If a child struggles with memorization but can come up with another way that they could contact their adult in an emergency, that could substitute.  The biggest challenges that kids face with the safety badge are issues with memorization and being able to tie their shoes.
