Description
Bicycling is an important part of childhood. For children with disabilities, pedaling a bike, steering, and following directions might seem overwhelming. In addition, they may not have the motor control, strength or balance to ride a bicycle.
That's where an adapted bicycle comes in. This book describes specific equipment that is available for children with special needs to experience the joy of riding a bicycle with their family or peers. It provides a detailed look at an adapted bicycling program that is ongoing at the Elizabeth Lee Black School in Erie, PA. The book explains the rationale behind the use of an adapted bicycling in the educational environment and includes resources supporting this intervention. An interactive flow chart with video demonstration is included to help you teach bike skills to children with special needs. References are provided along with links to websites where parents, teachers and individuals in the community can find further information on adapted bicycling.
