Adaptive bikes for kids with special needs
Of all the therapeutic aides available to special needs children, there are few which provide as powerful and lasting a sense of inclusion as the adaptive bike and the adaptive trike. As the only bit of special needs gear that’s practically indistinguishable from play and exercise aides used by the other kids in the park or on the bike trail, the adaptive bike is a therapy tool that your special needs child won’t ever get enough of…one that has a profound effect on a special needs child’s self esteem and sense of social belonging.
What’s more, riding therapy with a supportive adaptive bike or adaptive trike is proven to have a list of benefits that extends far beyond the emotional and psychological, assisting and enhancing physical and physiological development on every level, in a way that’s fun for the user and the entire family.
