M.O.V.E. Training & Program
"The ability to move is the first foundation stone in building personal dignity."
- Dr. Linda Bidabe, MOVE Creator.
MOVE (Mobility Opportunities Via Education) International Program trains families, care providers, and professionals to help children and adults with severe disabilities acquire more abilities (and independence) to sit, stand, walk and transition.
Having gained these increased abilities under the care of a MOVE International Program participant there is better health, less burden for care providers to move or lift people, more dignity, and new opportunities for fuller participation and inclusion in family life, school and community for disabled persons. Through MOVE life is no longer relegated to bean bag, floor mat, wheelchair or bed. This is achieved through instruction and adaptive equipment from the families, carers and professionals who are trained to employ a task-oriented approach incorporating components from current motor control and motor learning theories.
"Our dreams for Angela (age 10) to walk across the room with her hand held are now realistic through many hours of love and labour."- Mary Litterilla, parent.
