My Project

I have requested riding toys for my students. My student are a group of toddlers with special needs. All student has various disabilities that include limited gross motor skills that are needed to walk and climb stairs in out everyday life. These children have not been exposed to trikes, bikes or other riding toys.

The different toys that I have choses do not have pedals and will encourage the child to push with their feet.

Push toys on the floor with allow the student to gain upper body strenght as they crawl on the floor.
