Children with dyspraxia build confidence on Oxfordshire cycling course

Published on

Young cyclists with motor coordination difficulties have completed a programme intended to strengthen confidence and encourage greater independence.

The Learn to Ride a Bike course was organised by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service alongside Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, Oxford Brookes University and the Oxford Dyspraxia Foundation.

The initiative was designed for children and young people living with developmental coordination disorder, also known as DCD, and dyspraxia.

Its main objective was to support participants in learning how to ride a two-wheeled bicycle.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service praised the young participants for their determination during the week and expressed its thanks to those who contributed to the course’s success.
