Ride with confidence thanks to South West Child Development Service

WA Country Health Service’s South West Child Development Service’s Bike Group has been supporting children reach developmental milestones.

A parent recently took to Care opinion to share their appreciation for the program.

“The step-by-step program helped our son learn to ride his bike with confidence,” the parent said.

“These programs are so wonderful to help build strength, skills and fitness.

“The staff were amazing – they made my son feel safe while having fun.”

The team behind the Bike Group said the most rewarding part of this program is watching the children become more confident.

“Children always start out feeling like they can’t do it,” A/Community Health Manager Cherie Hazlitt said.

“Eventually both are shocked at how quickly they can progress.

“It’s wonderful to know we are supporting children strengthen their motor skills while they engage with their peers,” Physiotherapist Laura Macaulay added.
