How will the AmTryke help my clients?
For physical therapist or occupational therapists clinicians the AmTryke will provide an age appropriate, safe, dynamic modality for improving balance coordination, and strength. It's so fun, your clients won't even know they're receiving therapy.
The AmTryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is about abilities, not disabilities. Our goal is to provide access to all the classic benefits of riding: mobility, strength, exercise, coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun!
AmTryke makes foot trykes, hand trykes and hand & foot trykes in a wide range of sizes. Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through our full line of highly adjustable trykes and myriad of adaptive accessories.

What do I need to do?
Springfield ABC relies on therapists to evaluate the specific needs of a child who will benefit from an AmTryke. You may have parents approach you requesting that their child be evaluated or you may have a client that you automatically know they will benefit from an AmTryke.
Step One - Application completed by Parent/Guardian
The Parent will complete an AmTryke Request Form and Waiver.
