MOVE

MOVE Programme

Synopsis

• The MOVE programme sets long term, achievable goals with pupils and their families which aim towards developing physical skills and increasing independence.
• The long term goals are broken down into smaller steps that can be integrated into everyday life.
• The programme is suitable for those who struggle sitting, standing or walking confidently or for those who are maintaining these developing skills.
• A holistic approach is undertaken when setting up the programme for a student and involves the senior MOVE practitioner in school and the Occupational Therapist.
• Personalised targets are set for each individual student.

Aims of Intervention

• Increase the independence of students through movement.
• Increase self-help skills.
• Increase the quality of life, communication and inclusion for students.

Content

• Three long term goals are selected by family, practitioner and student.
• These are broken down into achievable targets using the MOVE manual.
• Programmes are then developed so that they can be incorporated into the school day or through focussed sessions on Intervention Morning.
• The content of the MOVE programme is produced by Enham Trust.
