WHAT IS THE MOVE PROGRAMME?
The MOVE Programme is an activity based practice that enables disabled children and young adults to gain independent movement. It uses the combined approach of education, therapy and family knowledge to teach the skills of sitting, standing walking and transitioning between.

Look at what we can do
MOVE- Standing and Walking
During our daily activities we try to pack as many opportunities to use MOVE. The children have been using MOVE during the different activities we do such as working on our vision to look and concentrate where we are going as we walk around the classroom or school. Working with the vision support team and the physiotherapist aswell.
