"Empowerment
and
participation come with the ability to to experience the world and
communicate."
Only when communication is recognized and consistently reinforced will those with severe physical,
sensory-motor, communicative and developmental differences find the
effort to communicate worthwhile.
Every
Move Counts represents the completion of a 33-month Innovative Research
Grant awarded
by the National Institutes of Health and funded through the National
Institutes for the Neurologically and Communicatively Disordered.
Ninety-one
children and 41 speech/language pathologists, teachers and occupational
therapists
from seven different sites participated in the implementation and
validation of the Every Move Counts approach.
