Who Is It For?

Move Play Grow© is intended for occupational therapists and advanced practitioners with an interdisciplinary focus who long to translate research and assessment materials into meaningful, functional, and developmentally appropriate goals in schools, clinics and/or home settings.

The  program goals and objectives in MPG© are influenced by theory, models of treatment, standardized tests, developmental checklists, and functional skills drawn from developmental research and frames of reference familiar to occupational therapists   Within MPG©   you will recognize how various objectives align with assessment and treatment models you utilize as a therapist. 

Using MPG© you can establish goals that are interdisciplinary and address the diversity of ways children grow and learn. As a single practitioner with a broad base of knowledge, and/or as a member of a multidisciplinary team you can create goals for movement, play, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and self- care that can be individualized, easily shared, and tracked by team members including therapists, teachers, interventionists, classroom aides and parents.
