The Rifton Adaptive Tricycle: Recreation and Therapy
–Tricycling is not only fun; it can be medically necessary too!

Know a mom or dad that needs a piece of new equipment for their child but just doesn’t know how in the world they’ll ever get ahold of it?

Pass along this list of great funding sources to families at your school.

It’s dedicated to the memory of Scott R. Conlon, whose story has touched and inspired us here at Rifton.

Funding Assistance for Adaptive Equipment

Dear Reader:

With new students, new skills to conquer—and hopefully a fresh coat of paint or two on that corner that really needed it—back-to-school is always an exciting time of year.

This year, it’s also an exciting time for Rifton:

A new product — already we’ve been hearing back from therapists and families about the big difference our new Rifton Activity Chair is making in their students’ and children’s lives.

A new upgrade — you’ll love the upgrades to the Rifton Tricycle, a fun product with important therapeutic value.

New approaches — learn about how movement science is changing the way we implement interventions.

Oh yes, and don't forget to enjoy the cooler weather!
