Our very first Bike Day in Australia was held at Montrose Access, Gold Coast.

A fabulous Gold Coast morning of brilliant sunshine, fun and laughter – the smiles on the kids faces are priceless – as the kids tried out these very cool bikes.

What wonderful work by the team at Freedom Concepts to come up with the bikes!

Love your works lads and ladies!  Read more here.

Just a quick heads up on a great Expo happening at the end of the week.

Occupational Therapy Australia Queensland division is presenting its inaugural promOTing better living expo in Brisbane on 28 & 29 October 2011 at the Mercure Hotel.

The promOTing better living expo is an opportunity to showcase the leaders of the OT profession as well as equipment manufacturers, service providers, allied health partners, government departments, professional development events, and more.

More Members Of The Public & Free

While the expo will prove to be a valuable source of information for all OTs, the event will appeal to the general community who will learn the benefits of using occupational therapists and prescribed equipment to enable them to live their lives to the full.

Hope you can make it along – we’ll be there in Stall # 1!

Be sure to stop by and say hello.

Here at Special Needs Solutions we are constantly looking at ways to improve and expand our business.

In our recent survey we found you asked for more leisure products.

We have been working hard over the last 8 months to extend our product range to include bikes and trikes. In doing this we have forged a great relationship with Ken Vanstraelen from Freedom Concepts in Canada.

What is Freedom Concepts?

Since 1991, Ken Vanstraelen and his team at Freedom Concepts have developed a full line of therapy bicycles so everyone can experience the exhilaration of a good ride.

Not only are the bikes fun and funky, they also provide therapeutic benefits by gaining muscle strength, independence & higher self-esteem.

A big thank you to everyone who completed our recent survey – we really appreciate your input to help us become the very best company we can be.

This new web site has been developed as a result of the feedback – any further feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
