Tricycle vs Stationary bike

[Guest guest]

Another question for you folks. The IEP team thought a trycycle for a

Kindergartener was inappropriate. What do you make of this? But they think a

stationary bike is ok? I don't get it? They do have a trike with

modifications just the right size. Hmmmm.

My opinion on this , would be the trike , especially if its equipped

with the velcro straps and a long handle on the back for an adult to

help push and guide on turning . If the stationary bike was suggested

maybe they would like to see if this will help with strenghting her

muscles , maybe once they see her benefitting out of it, then she

could use the trike ? Did they even mentioning following these

steps ? I do remember always starting out with a trike at

Rochelle's age , every city , school , private schools, have always

suggested it . I even bought one and donated to a private school ,

just so that any child would get some good use out of it for their

motor skills .

thst rediculous, a trike would be more appropriate

because it would also be used in life as a life type

of skill, i mean i hate to face it but im pretty sure

nathan will most likely be unable to drive a vehicle

like a car but who knows he may surprise us, but until

then its best to work on trike/bicycle skills and

safety, not only can they use this for work and

activities but also great source of exercise, which is

a constant factor for everyone especially our kids and

their often weight issues and muscle tone etc. shawna.
