Liam Reinders' "wobbly legs" can make life at school a bit tiring.
But fatigue and falling down are set to become less frequent occurrences in the 8-year-old's school life thanks to a special new scooter he can ride between classes.
The St Mary's Primary School student has Charcot-Marie-Tooth - a rare neuromuscular condition that affects the nerves supplying his muscles.
Ask Liam about it, and he'll tell you he has "wobbly legs" like his mum Cherie, who has the same condition.
The scooter helps strengthen the muscles in Liam's legs and upper body, but Liam's just happy to be able to scoot around the school yard.
"I think it is good. I go fast with it."
He received a grant for his scooter through the Halberg Allsports Activity Fund. It offers grants to physically disabled young people (under 21 years) to help overcome the financial barriers that prevent them from participating in sport and recreation.
Mrs Reinders said they were grateful for the financial support, with the scooter costing about $400.
Liam was officially diagnosed with the condition in 2014 although his mum suspected it from early on for a number of reasons, including because he was late to start walking.
"He has the most amazing can-do attitude."
Mrs Reinders said Liam sometimes wasn't aware of his limitations and tried to do too much - which is where the scooter came in to help around the school.
"The school here are really great at allowing him to use it to help reduce falls and fatigue."
Recently when the school held a cross-country Liam was told he could complete just part of it, but went on do to the whole thing.
"He suffered afterwards for about a week. He doesn't know his own limitations."
