M.O.V.E. reflects our belief that people with severe disabilities can achieve mobility one move at a time.  This is achieved through instruction and adaptive equipment that enhances independent mobility.  M.O.V.E. underscores our commitment that we are here for all people - no matter what their disability. 

M.O.V.E. is the result of years of testing, trials, research, patience and faith that people with disabilities can gain or regain mobility.  It represents care and concern by teachers, trainers, physical therapists, physiotherapists, parents and caregivers who are committed to moving people with disabilities from a restrictive environment to a more inclusive lifestyle. 

THE PURPOSE OF M.O.V.E. IS TO: 

* Use education as a means to systematically acquire motor skills. 

* Provide a program whereby participants naturally practice their motor skills while engaged in other educational or leisure activities. 

* Provide a way to measure small increments of functional motor skills and therefore, provide a way to show improvement. 

* Provide the individual with the basic motor skills which are needed for development of other skills such as expressive language and self-care.
