Go Baby Go...More Adapted Ride-on Cars!

I have previously posted about the Go Baby Go program at the University of Deleware.  Since posting about it, I have been able to attend one of Cole Galloway's classes on adapting ride-on cars to be controlled via switches, etc.  I would love to help you create a way for you little one to be up and moving on his or her own.  Let me know if you are interested in an adpated ride-on car.  You can contact me at Handprints and Footsteps via email: cscheer@hpnfs.com  or phone: 402-420-2099.  Thanks!  Chrissy Scheer, PT

Here is a link to a great short video about the Go Baby Go program and potential ideas:  http://www.nationswell.com/babiesdrivingracecars/

Early Power Mobility...Go Baby Go!

The research has continued to support Early (ie: less than 1 year old) Power Mobility for any child who does not have a way to move independently....and that this movement is vital for learning!  There is a group in Delaware that is adapting battery-operated toy ride-on vehicles for this purpose.  I recommend watching the video at this link:
