Therapeutic bike program for special needs kids in MassachusettsWebinar, June 7th, 2022, with Therapro of Framingham. Free. A rite of passage, bike riding is a path to independence that builds confidence, yet it’s not an activity that comes naturally or at a magical age.
*Difficulties in learning how to ride a bike can extend into adulthood and impact future driving abilities.
* Bike riding is composed of many skill sets working together that make the act of riding a bike successful.
* Many times, these skills are overlooked and require more attention.
* Occupational Therapy can help break down and focus on the skills that need more support to help children and adolescents learn to ride a bike.
* These may include: Attention and concentration, Bilateral coordination, Balance, Body awareness, Core strength, Hand-eye coordination, Motor planning, Postural stability, Sensory processing, Upper and lower extremity strength, and Visual scanning.
About the presenter: Jessica Hanna, MS, OTR/L, NESCA Occupational Therapist has over 10 years of pediatric OT experience in conducting assessments and providing treatment of children and adolescents with a broad range of challenges and disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing disorders, visual impairments, cerebral palsy, executive function deficits and developmental disorders of motor function.
