Studies and pilots over the last three years involving the MOVE Programme have highlighted various trends in both health and social categories which show that there are many benefits for children and adults with complex disabilities and their carers. Our Sponsor a Child study showed that after a year on the MOVE Programme all of the children assessed had progressed in at least one skill and 94% of the children had managed either to maintain or to improve their skills.

Other studies have also shown that whilst using the MOVE Programme 86% of adults progressed in both health and social categories, and that 81% of parents of children using the Programme felt that it provided a framework that both encouraged and helped professionals and parents to work more efficiently as a team.

There is also much academic research which supports the principles of MOVE. For further information please click here for an extended list of references.
