My 10 year old daughter has mild autism, as well as an auditory processing deficit so she uses ASL and typing text on a tablet for communication. She also has sensory issues, and the combination of learning to pedal, steer, look forward, and balance all at the same time has proven to be pretty challenging. Combine that with the fact that we primarily use ASL to speak back and forth when outside, and feeling she can stay safe while riding a regular bike hasn't seemed very doable. She did do a large balance bike for the past couple of years, but it's amazing how much more she's taken to the recumbent bike.Within a couple of sessions, she was riding two miles a day! It was mind boggling the day she figured out "hey I can take myself places in this thing." She immediately drove herself to the nearest playground, with me walking briskly to keep up with her :) We're lucky because her impairments are mostly in communication and to some extent dexterity and a little bit balance - but I think even a child who has pretty significant impairments can benefit from this bike. The steering and braking were very easy for her to learn, and she's figured out that the stronger she pedals before a small hill, the easier time she'll have getting up it. We bought a bike safety handle/guide for the back (MOLI DEE Children Cycling Bike Safety Trainer Handle Balance Push Bar) - which isn't seen in our bike picture but I'll attach another one with it. We were able to bolt it onto a part of the back, it's just high enough to use and makes an enormous difference when trying to help the child pedal up a slight hill. Stooping over to push on the top of the seat is a sure way to develop back pain for just about anybody. If you have a child who might need an occasional push or help steering, I would buy the handle when you buy the bike.This bike helps foster a sense of independence in kids who may not be ready or able to ride a regular bike, is wonderful exercise, and is just plain fun. Thumbs way way up!
