Victress Bower School is pleased to announce that all of our special education teachers and instructional assistants have completed the two day training to become Certified Basic Providers of the MOVE program. In addition, three of our special education teachers have attended an intensive two day training at the MOVE facility in Bakersfield, CA to become Certified MOVE International Trainers which allows them to provide MOVE training to other certificated and classified staff in the Corona-Norco Unified School District.
MOVE (Mobility Opportunities Via Education/Experience) helps children and adults with severe disabilities acquire more abilities (and independence) to sit, stand, walk and transition. This is achieved through instruction and adaptive equipment.
With these increased abilities, there is: 1) better health, 2) less burden for care providers to move or lift people, 3) more dignity, and 4) new opportunities for fuller participation and inclusion in family life, school and community.
