“My family is so grateful to iCan Shine. My son, Benjamin, has ADHD and anxiety. While he can appear “typical,” he really struggles with any activities relating to balance because of his sensory issues. Also, he struggles when he does not meet success because of his ADHD and anxiety.

We had tried to teach Benjamin how to ride a bike so many times, and it always ended in frustration. As he watched his neighborhood friends bike down the street, I knew we had to do something to help him.

iCan Bike was the perfect program for him. The organizers and volunteers were so encouraging and supportive from our first step in the door. The roller bikes allowed Benjamin to be immediately successful so that he did not get frustrated. The tandem bike allowed him to feel the sense of balance he needed to achieve. One of the volunteers, Corey, connected with him and listened to his entire life story as Benjamin pedaled away. By the end of the week, Benjamin could ride!

We were so proud of him. The experience reminded me that Benjamin can accomplish anything with support and the right resources. We are so grateful.”
