MOVE International
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
