Skateboarding can be a great way to build confidence and self-esteem in kids.
Melanie Tillotson and Andrea Bibelheimer started SkateMD to help special needs children that face developmental, physical, emotional or even family challenges.
It is a non-profit organisation with volunteers who have a strong passion use skateboarding as a healing vehicle for special needs children.
The above videoclip was the first skateboarding clinic by SkateMD with many positive outcomes and experiences for special needs children.
