MOVER of the Month - January 2025

MOVER of the Month - January 2025

Congratulations to Joyce, our Rockland BOCES Jesse J. Kaplan School “MOVER of the Month” for January! “She puts the Joy in Joyce with her smile and contagious laughter,” says Kaplan Physical Therapist Kristin Mullen. “When she first came to Kaplan she was unable to sit by herself, but in the last two years she has learned to ring-sit on the floor to play with toys.”

Since joining the MOVE™ program, Joyce has made incredible progress. Initially, she struggled to sit on her own but now can walk with the assistance of the Kid Walk.

Kaplan’s MOVE™ (Mobility Opportunities via Education) program combines therapy and education to teach children with physical disabilities and complex needs the functional skills of sitting, standing, and walking. MOVE™ aims to give children an opportunity to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Every child deserves the right to MOVE™.
