M.O.V.E.® Mobility Opportunities via Education What is MOVE® ? MOVE® helps learners with physical disabilities acquire increased independence in sitting, standing, and walking - to experience, learn and gain more mobility, better health and enhanced personal dignity. MOVE® produces results through hard work, repetition and dedication. The MOVE® programme was introduced to the school in 1999. We aim to have all staff trained as movement educators. Individual MOVE® programmes are designed by our transdisciplinary team for any student who is not independent in their mobility. MOVE® is... a philosophy functional, useful, measurable progress for setting goal team work - 'it takes a team to move' a programmes that offers assistance for people with a singular disability to complex disabilities a programme that changes ways of thinking and changes attitudes a structured programme based on assessment and accountability a way of developing skills beyond the highest skills the student already has a way of life used throughout the day, used anywhere in an activity underpins the school curriculum and activities, rather than be a timetabled period of teaching and learning.

Transdisciplinary Team Approach The complex learning needs of our students usually require the combined expertise and knowledge of different professionals. Research indicates that a transdisciplinary team approach reflects ‘best practice’ for successful learning outcomes. The transdisciplinary approach is a framework which enables members of an educational team - teacher, specialists, support staff, students and families - to contribute their knowledge and skills to collaborate with other members, and collectively prioritise and deliver the learning programmes that would most benefit a student. At Sir Keith Park School, specialist input is classroom based and co-ordinated with class programmes. Programmes for learning are supported / developed / monitored / delivered / assessed through a transdisciplinary approach to ensure optimal learning takes place. Parents, teachers, and therapists working together are crucial components in ensuring our students’ learning success. Back
