Camp Connections
Our young client had a school camp coming up that included a day of bike riding. He couldn’t ride and his family didn’t want him to feel left out. His goal was to ride his bike with his peers, fully participate and belong. Our LMP therapy assistant Gemma set out to make his goal a reality!
After some skill building and practice this young man was overwhelmed with happiness, joy and excitement that not only did he learn how to ride his bike independently, but he was able to participate in the school camp, just like his friends!
Update – He is now a confident rider and learning road safety.
He would place one foot on the pedal in an upward position and used the other foot to push himself off the ground. Gradually he was able to lift his second foot onto the pedal and started moving in a controlled manner, with Gemma holding on to the bike as support.
Reducing this support overtime Gemma eventually let go, and off he flew. This young man was overwhelmed with happiness, joy and excitement that not only did he learn how to ride his bike on his own, but he was able to participate in the school
camp just like his friends! Update – He is now a confident rider and learning road safety.
