What MOVE is and isn't

MOVE IS:

a philosophy
functional, useful, measurable progress for setting life goals
a collaborative effort between families and professionals- “It takes a team to move”
a program that offers assistance for people with a singular disability to complex disabilities
a program that changes ways of thinking, changes attitudes and promotes inclusive living
a structured program based in assessment and accountability
a top down approach that helps develop skills beyond the highest skills an individual already possesses
a way of life used throughout the day, used anywhere in an activity
embedded into existing curricula and activities
cost-efficient and effective

MOVE IS NOT:

a cure
a developmental, bottom-up model
limited to people with multiple disabilities
appropriate for individuals who can already sit, stand and walk
a pull-out, stand alone program
seeking to replace other services
a therapy
an equipment-based program
a meaningless “exercise” program
