Tricycles For Independence: Life Skills In Motion

Help me give my students this tricycle to allow those who struggle with balance and coordination to safely engage in physical activity, develop their gross motor skills, and experience the joy of movement. This will promote inclusion.

My Project

I am a special education teacher working with an incredible group of students ranging from 6th grade to adult transition. In our Life Skills based classroom (Structured Learning Center), we focus on teaching independence, confidence, and essential gross motor skills to prepare students for life beyond school.

One of the key areas we work on is physical health and mobility, especially for students who need additional support in developing their coordination and gross motor skills.

Having access to a tricycle will promote inclusion and provide opportunities for all students to participate in physical activities. This is crucial for their overall development and independence.

Please help us put our life skills students on the road to success, both literally and figuratively. Your donation will bring joy, exercise, and important life skills to our classroom!
