Experiences of Parents with Children
on the Autism Spectrum (1998-2005)
Occupational therapists were the first to grasp how
and why Pedal Magic
I received your website from an occupational therapist that my 6 year old son went to see. She made the statement that having a child watch the video once seemed to be all it would take to have them up and riding. I finally sat down this weekend and ordered the video online. My son and I watched the video. We went outside immediately after the video. We practiced the ... We did each exercise until he could do ... Unbelievably he rode his bike on his OWN in 15 minutes!!! I will have to now tell you that he has been practicing and trying to ride his bike for a little over a year. We have run along side him and also used training wheels. Nothing worked. This works!! I will be telling all the moms I know that have children who are having trouble learning to ride their bikes. I still am in shock that it was so easy. I was very doubtful watching the video that it would be so easy but it was. Thank you! I now have a confident bike rider!!! Completely Amazed mom,
From: Marie Schwager Please add us to the list of customers thrilled, and
astounded, with your product!!! Our seven year-old son has a physical disability
that impacts motor planning/control and balance. Last Sunday (after a summer of
"trying") he told me, "it breaks my heart when I see other kids riding bikes,"
so I splurged the $20. We spent an exciting Labor Day downloading the video,
sitting with him watching it and riding within 45 minutes! Today, six days
later, we all took a 2 mile ride!! We are all so excited, and can't thank you
enough. We've already sung your praises to occupational, physical and speech
therapists. And, as a teacher, I can't wait to spread the word to any parents
who tell me their little ones are having trouble. Thanks a MILLION!!!!
Thank you so very much for your process of learning how to ride a bike. Our son is 7 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Motor planning has not been a strong point for him and his occupational therapist recommended your video. The exercises made him much more aware how to move his body and how to steer. Even though he had used training wheels for years, he was still able to learn how to ride over this weekend. He is so excited and we are very proud of him. It is just wonderful that this could be such a positive experience for him. I plan to tell all my friends, especially the ones whose children struggle with gross motor planning, that they need to buy your video. Riding his bike like everyone else is one way that our son will now fit it. We had one question. We have a 5 year old daughter and we are uncertain if we would need to buy another video in order to lawfully use the technique with her. We want to do what is right and know we want to use the technique with her. Thank you for creating such a valuable approach and for taking the time to make it available to people through video. I can't tell you how thrilled we are. Sincerely,
Dear Pedal Magic, Please add us to the list of very satisfied customers. My eight year old daughter had tried many times to ride a bike but with no success. She was unable to keep up with her friends (all of whom were already riding a bike) and was becoming angry with herself because she could not ride a bike. She actually tried to sell her bike because she felt she would never get to ride it and felt someone else might be able to use it. Her Occupational Therapist told us about Pedal Magic and said it really was indeed magic. We watched the video once on a Saturday night and once more on Sunday morning. It seemed too easy. But we went out and gave it our best shot. Twelve minutes later, my daughter was off and riding! This morning she got up at 6 AM and was ready to ride. Thank you for allowing my daughter to meet with success so easily. It really is magic. Thank you,
From: Travis Antes To: PedalMagic Hello Reginald, I truly appreciate your email follow up. My son has Autism spectrum disorder and we have been working on bike riding on and off for about 3 weeks. Both he and I were so frustrated last weekend that I wasn't sure what to do next. I came across your website and video during the week and thought I'd try your method this weekend. I started yesterday and within 10 minutes he was riding his bike without me holding on to him at all. We went bike riding again today to work on launches and turning. Your method just simply worked for me and my son, I thank you very much. Sincerely, Travis [Sunnyvale, California] |
