I have a friend that I have worked with for 2 years now. The other day he and his sister were over for a visit and we went for a quick trip to a park. He rode his bike with my other 10 year old friend (who is a master bike rider) and it was completely normal, typical, standard, not really that exciting, something that kids do.....
The difference here is that 11 months ago this boy screamed and yelled when he sat on a bike that I had modified by taking off the training wheels and pedals.
He can now ride with his peers. That is a huge thing.

Exercise for kids is important. Exercise for kids with unique and special needs especially so. Our goal is to develop a practice that promotes vigorous exercise and movement literacy for all of the kids and young adults we work with. It is about building lifelong physical skills. "Go play outside and burn off some energy" doesn't always work for some. Visit www.exercise-is-therapy.ca
