Welcome to TAD Disability Services


 

Change a child's world

 

 

 

For most children, riding a bike is a rite of passage. But for a child with disabilities it's often impossible.

 

TAD's Freedom Wheels bikes allow children with disabilities to actually ride a bike for the first time. Even children who cannot walk can ride a Freedom Wheels bike.

 

And the effect is simply amazing....

 

We have a waiting list of children with disabilities across NSW who are unable to afford a Freedom Wheel bike.

 

How you can help:

 

Donate towards a bike: You can make a donation to the program today - just click here.

 

Donate a bike: Bikes start from $650 and the cost will vary depending upon the child's needs. We never charge the family the full cost.. If you would like to donate a bike click here.

 

Spread the word: You can join our mailing list, like us on Facebook and share our film links with your friends.

 

 

TAD Disability Services is the only charity in NSW which designs and builds personalised custom equipment to enable people with disabilities to lead more independent lives.

 

Our team of skilled volunteers and staff therapists can assist in all aspects of everyday living, including equipment to assist the development of young children, tools and devices for education, work, recreation, daily living and personal care, and equipment to assist older people retain mobility and independence. In some cases we may also modify a commercially available item to suit individual needs.

 

Even though many of our solutions appear relatively simple, they make a world of difference to our clients.

 

With main offices in Sydney and a corps of volunteers throughout NSW, TADNSW has been serving people with disabilities for over 30 years and have developed over 25,000 devices that have assisted people with disabilities from all age groups.
