Our son is three years old, and has Autism, we have just started trying to teach him to ride a bike, but we're having problems.
There might be some information that comes up that could help us in the future.

Hey guys.I'm an Occupational Therapist Student (nearly qualified though!) and one of our core "things" in Occupational Therapy is adaptive equipment and adapting occupations or activities so they can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of ability if deemed meaningful to that individual.However,it still pee's me off at the lack of resources made available for stuff like this and when they are they are bloody pricey.Professionally, it wouldn't be right for me to give my make-shift-blue peter-esque ideas for this as I wouldn't want anyone to get hurt! I can however,have a browse through some of the mags I get sent monthy full of the up to date equipment for people of all ages to see if there is something there that may help you.
I could also suggest to you both that maybe other activities that promote balance and co-ordination skills may help your children with this particular activity-I know that's somewhat vague but it's hard to reccomend activities for individuals I don't know without carrying out an assessment.
Wish you all the best and keep up the good work!
Sally.
