PLAAY on the Move

University and GoBabyGo's newest adventure - Participation in Leisure Allowing Access for everYone. This is an exciting new project to bring our regular events out into the community, allowing children and their families to engage in a wide range of activities. Volunteers work with the CSU team to build race cars and harnesses that are tailored to each child’s therapeutic goals and fulfill the universal need for independence, exploration and play. Sponsors help ensure any family can access these resources, participate in CSU programs, and benefit from our services. Independent mobility is linked to cognitive, social, motor, language and social-emotional development. From 6 months to 3 years of age, typically developing children move toward people or things of interest, learning from their environment and forming important neurological pathways. However, between 6 and 9 percent of children under the age of 16 have impairments that restrict mobility. By reducing the barriers to independence through assistive technologies, CSU clinicians can augment physical capabilities and optimize participation in play or leisure activities for age-appropriate development.
