It was identified that an adult trike would be the best choice to serve Ethan for many years and to enable him to continue exploring his environment and enjoying time with the family.
Elifar helped, alongside another charity, to fund a Tomcat Fizz trike for 11 year old Ethan. He had outgrown his existing trike and urgently needed a replacement. Ethan faces ongoing challenging learning and sensory needs including a diagnosis of severe complex autism which impacts on his mobility.
Trikes make such a huge difference in many ways, specifically providing a calming influence through the peddling action for sensory needs and by regulating digestion and bowel movements and keeping associated pain at bay.
