Foot Holders for Adapted Tricycles for Adapted Physical Education
Funded Feb 15, 2024Thank you again for helping me fund this project and support my students. We have these awesome large kid/adult sized tricycles, but the students feet do not always stay on the peddles. These foot holders will be mounted to the peddles and allow me to "strap" the students feet to the peddles. This gives the students the feeling of peddling, and helps them learn the motion of peddling. I have already had students who could not peddle at first start peddling all on their own.
I currently have five trikes, and now I have various sized foot holders for the trikes, and a few extra. I plan to do another donors choose for more trikes in the near future. Thanks to you all I have plenty of foot holders for the students, and the students are getting more exercises, experiences, and having fun. THANK YOU!!”

Adapted Physical Education Tricycles for Students with Disabilities
Funded Nov 28, 2023I have received the bikes, assembled them, and already had 6 different students use the bikes. The bikes will need some minor adaptations such as larger foot peddles with velcro straps that I will be installing myself over the next few weeks. These adaptations will make the bikes more functional and easier for my students with disabilities to use.
I took some pictures of the students using the bikes, and I even made sure that the students faces were not in the pictures, but more of a picture from a back view. You could see me in the photo but not the students faces. However I do not currently have permission slips from these students parents to post pictures of the students, so I have not and will not be uploading these pictures. However I am uploading pictures of the assembled bikes at Thomas Jefferson High School, and rest assured the students are using them!
I also took a picture of one of the class room aides, and the school resource officer riding the bike, however again, based on Donors Choose policy and me currently not having permission forms I decided not to post them. I am uploading pictures of the bikes currently. Again, thank you so much for your generous donation and helping these students experience either a new physical activity, or helping them experience riding bikes at school to help them enjoy their physical education experience in a better more fulfilling way. You helped make students with disabilities lives happier and more enjoyable!! You are amazing, thank you!”
With gratitude,
