MOVER of the Month - October 2024
Congratulations to Brianna, our Rockland BOCES Jesse J. Kaplan School “MOVER of the Month” for October! “Brianna is such a happy girl and I can’t wait to see what the future holds. She’s a good, hard worker and I can see that she wants to keep going,” says Kaplan School Physical Therapist Anne Elton.
Brianna’s mobility across the classroom has significantly improved in the MOVE™ program, allowing her to walk with the help of a walker and use the bicycle. Brianna started using a gate trainer to help her gain muscle as she practiced standing. Now, with the aid of a posterior walker, Brianna can run circles around her teacher in the classroom. We are all so proud of Brianna’s accomplishments in the MOVE Program!
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™.
