Teach Him to Ride a Bicycle
You all know by now that I always speak about lack of coordination being the most common finding associated with kids on the Autism Spectrum. It would then follow that riding a bicycle would be something that many of you would have found as somthing that your child has difficulty with. Riding a bike is a part of normal childhood that all children should experience. The tip is to take the pedals off of the bike ( no training wheels) and have the child learn to balance himself on the bike by walking ( pushing with his feet) as one does with a skate board. This is done for three days. On the fourth day you put the pedals back on and the child should have a much easier time making the transition. These are the types of tips I hear from one parent and try to pass on to all of you out there. Please send me any type of tips you may have that have made your life easier and therefore might help make another mom, dad or child’s life easier.
