Charlton School and MOVE

Movement Opportunities Via Education

MOVE is a top-down, activity-based programme designed to teach young people with physical disabilities basic functional motor skills needed for adult life. These skills enable people to enjoy a more inclusive lifestyle at home and in their local communities. MOVE combines learning mobility skills with a teaching approach designed to help students acquire increasing amounts of independence in sitting, standing and walking. This programme was originally written and piloted in the United States but is now widely followed throughout Europe.
