The Power Pumper Enables One Boy to Tap His Hidden Potential

"Our son Zack has Cerebral Palsy and has trouble with gross and fine motor skills. He has received good care from the physical therapists, but we wanted to help Zack at home as well. Zack will probably never "go ride bikes" with the kids in the neighborhood. He just doesn't have the coordination or the muscle strength to control a regular bike, but he has found the Power Pumper to be something that he can ride very easily. When we first got it, he couldn't go more than a few paces (his muscle strength wasn't as developed), but he thought that it was fun and continued trying. He can now go quite a few blocks down the road and even up some small hills.

The neat thing about the Power Pumper is that all his cousins want to ride it when they come over to play. It looks like a cool "toy", not something only for a child with special needs. He can ride it in the park and not one kid has ever said anything negative or made fun of Zack for riding it.

It definitely has been a blessing in our life to help Zack get out and play in a "normal" environment and help him develop as well."
