MOVE International is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.
MISSION STATEMENT: MOVE International seeks to improve the overall quality of life for people with disabilities and for the people who care for them, regardless of age or cause of disability. MOVE International promotes fuller participation in home, school, work and community life to encourage the dignity and hope such participation brings to each individual.
The mission statement is founded in the belief that the ability to move is the first foundation stone in building personal dignity.
The MOVE Program originated in the 1980s in the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, Bakersfield, California. The MOVE Program is now used in many school districts and other facilities/organizations throughout the United States and many other nations.
MOVE for Adults Provider Training
The MOVE for Adults Provider training is new in 2007 (go to Training/Events section on this website for upcoming MOVE for Adults training locations and dates open to the public). This is a two-day training on the use of the MOVE Program for those who work with adults with motor disabilities. There is also an additional one-day follow-up training at a later date.
Upon successful completion of this training, attendees are certified as a MOVE for Adults Provider. There is no term limit on Adult Provider certification. MOVE for Adults Providers, however, are not certified to teach and certify others on use of the MOVE for Adults Program.
