WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK...
Alan Percy, MD

University of Alabama School of Medicine, Birmingham, AL
An excellent resource, comprehensive, clearly written, exceedingly
readable, and replete with active learning exercises and clinical points,
to drive home the message on effective therapeutic approaches to those
caring for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
Joseph M. Valenzano, Jr.
President, CEO & Publisher Exceptional Parent
This book is replete with easy to understand but tremendously useful
exercises and tools for improving the quality of life for people with
neurodevelopmental disorders. MOVE....Mobility Opportunities via Education
is no more clearly illustrated than in the content and quality of this
educational tool....a must for anyone involved in the care and development
of children or adults with movement disorders.
Christine Shaw, MCSP
Pediatric Physiotherapist, Edinburgh, Scotland
This book gives us the underlying knowledge we require to ensure
our clinical practice helps every child with a physical disability to
gain his maximum level of independence. I would wholeheartedly recommend
this book to all therapists, whether they are new to the field of neurological
disability or, like me, need an update! I know that MOVE works with our
children, now I have a clearer understanding of why!
Ginny Paleg, PT
Montgomery County Infant and Toddler Program, Maryland
This book could (and maybe should) be required reading for any therapist,
for we all encounter people with neurological dysfunction and weakness.
I hope it becomes a strong link in the chain that spreads the science
behind teaching motor skills in a meaningful environment, where repetition
is the cornerstone.
Matthew G. Holder, MD, MBA
Executive Director American Academy of Developmental Medicine
and Dentistry
This is the most comprehensive text of its kind and it is proudly
endorsed by the physicians and dentists of the American Academy of Developmental
Medicine and Dentistry.

With the changing model of the central nervous system as having the
dynamic capacity to regenerate or adapt, the core concepts of the MOVE
curriculum are now ready for serious recognition. Thomson's book serves
as a definitive introduction for therapists, physicians, researchers,
parents and educators in the field of neurodevelopment.
