Joe on his new trike

Joe’s parents applied for funding for a specialised trike, supported by Joe’s teacher. Joe has autism and is also registered blind. It is therefore really important for Joe to develop his mobility and orientation skills.

Having a trike that he could ride independently would help Joe to develop his co-ordination, balance and ability to make gross motor movements. Cycling will also help Joe keep healthy and build up strength in his legs and arms.

Joe recently received his trike and is now able to cycle with friends and family and also rides his trike to school. As you can see from his picture, when Joe received his trike, his Mum tells us that he was so excited that he couldn’t wait to try it out, so much so that he wouldn’t wait until he had his socks and shoes on!

Joe’s trike cost £405 minus a contribution from Joe’s family from the proceeds of a sponsored half-marathon.
