What is MOVE?

The MOVE Program is an activity-based program that combines therapy with teaching, designed to help individuals build important motor skills. These skills include sitting, standing, walking, and moving from one position to another. 
Research shows that the brain has the ability to form new pathways over time, especially when movements are practiced repeatedly. MOVE focuses on practicing these movements through everyday, meaningful activities. MOVE is an assessment-based program that uses data to guide its progress.
