iCan Bike - Hamilton, ONT

We understand that the vast majority of people with disabilities never have the experience of independently riding a conventional two-wheel bicycle during their lifetime. Research shows that over 80% of people with Autism and 90% of people with Down syndrome never experience this thrill. Defying these odds is why we exist!

"I would like to thank on behalf of Lucas and Raphael the iCan Bike Camp Cambridge, through this program my Kids were able to achieve a huge goal. This was only possible with the techniques developed by iCan Shine program. For many years my husband and I tried to teach our children how to ride a bike with no success. Every attempt they got worsens and increases anxiety, frustrations and traumas. Riding a bike is not easy for any child to learn and even more difficult for children with special needs. Our children have many difficulties with balance, sensory processing, anxiety and fearfulness. For this task what's necessary is highly trained staff and adapted bikes to teach the children to overcome all these obstacles. I truly see miracles and all children shine. I never imagined they would accomplish this goal in just a week of training. I have no words to express my gratitude to Nina Katz-Christy and Zaida Block for your hard work to put together and host this extraordinary program, all the volunteers worked so hard everyday with great enthusiasm and positive energy. Also special thanks to the amazing staff Emma and Steven, you made a difference to my family's life. I strongly recommend for parents of children with special needs to enroll in this program because it really works. I beg iCan Shine program please consider expanding iCan Swim to the Boston area. Research shows high death rates from drowning among children with autism. Only with your help we can change these rates, this is our next goal."
