POWER OF MOVEMENT
M.O.V.E.
Foundations
Movement · Orientation · Velocity · Execution
Build skills. Move confidently.
Personalized, noncompetitive movement instruction for neurodivergent children and youth with developmental disabilities. Neurotypical participants welcome.
FOUR FOUNDATIONS. ONE PARTICIPANT’S PACE.
Practice that builds on their starting point.
The building blocks of movement can support participation in activities, recreation and everyday life. We use manageable steps and encouraging coaching.
Movement
Explore balance, coordination and controlled movement.
Orientation
Practice body position, directions and navigating an activity.
Velocity
Explore pace, slowing down and stopping with control.
Execution
Follow directions and put movement steps together.
WHAT PRACTICE CAN LOOK LIKE
Small steps.
Meaningful participation.
A welcoming place to practice, make choices and grow confidence—without competition.
- Step, balance and coordinate
Move between floor markers and explore simple movement sequences.
- Find a direction and control the pace
Follow a demonstration, navigate cones, and practice slowing down or stopping.
- Put the steps together
Complete a manageable activity, ask for help, and participate alongside others.
WHY WE START WITH A CONSULTATION
A plan that fits the participant.
The required initial consultation / participation assessment explores interests, communication preferences, starting skills and support needs.
It informs a participation plan, activity adaptations, coaching support and a recommended session format.
FLEXIBLE PARTICIPATION
The right setting. The right support.
1:1 and small-group instruction at home, a park, local school or gym, throughout California.
Family-provided caregivers, OTs or BTs may attend when needed. Coordinate their roles with OMG before sessions.
Recreational instruction. Nonmedical and nontherapeutic. Exact availability, schedule, session length and support arrangements are confirmed individually.
