MOVE combines therapy and education in a programme which helps children work towards goals that they really want to achieve, which can range from learning to hold their head up by themselves to learning the skills needed to play football with their friends using a pacer. MOVE is unique in that no child is too disabled to use it and works with the child’s parents, teachers and therapists to teach them skills which are then practised in everyday life, enabling parents to be involved in key decision making and instrumental in their child’s development.
Visit our website or call us on 020 7407 5344 to find out more information, speak to a specialist or a parent of a child already on the programme or to visit a school using MOVE.

Tatty Bumpkin classes and clothing were born out of a love of yoga and a love of fun. Loosely based on yoga postures, classes are suitable for all children, including those with special needs - Baby Bumpkin (0-2) and Tatty Bumpkin (2-7). Each class encourages your child to explore their physicality, increase their confidence and engage their minds, whilst not being competitive. The Tatty Bumpkin Bendy Doll is used to help children form each pose. The baby classes have more pastoral care and massage included.
Starting with the warm-up song "Bendy, Giggly, Clever and Strong" classes use adapted yoga poses to introduce the concept of "learning through movement" before the magical adventure begins - an amazing place where we'll meet animals, fly like helicopters, be sausage rolls and much more!
