William Rose Page
We are trialling MOVE here at William Rose School in two of our high support needs classes. We currently have 4 students undertaking the program and so far we have had an overwhelming interest from parents and carers. The one thing I hear the most is, "Well, they USED to be able to do that". This statement is what drives me to get those movement skills back and encourage our students to have the independence they once had.

Our biggest success story so far is probably a student with Cerebral Palsy who is wheelchair bound. She can now sit at a regular school desk on a regular school chair with NO PROMPTS for up to 15 minutes. Not only is she able to maintain her balance on the chair, but the smile on her face when she can sit unrestricted is priceless.

Another student is taking independent steps and building up his confidence to walk without his walker. He can now enter and exit the bus and taxi by the stairs and has shown a huge improvement in his strength and gross motor skills.

It is so exciting to see the success that we're getting with MOVE and highly recommend it to anyone working or living with people with physical disabilities.
