Go Baby Go

go baby go

Go Baby Go is a program started in the University of Delaware. The project spread nationally (and internationally) and now we get the opportunity to help children! The Project’s purpose is to provide access for children with certain disabilities to a modified toy car. This allows an economic alternative for a wheelchair.

The Cerebral Palsy Foundation states that “The modified toy cars give children with mobility disabilities a chance to play and socialize with their peers more easily”. They also state that “past research has shown that independent mobility is linked to cognitive, social, motor, language and other developmental benefits in young children”. This is actually backed by publications like ‘Children, Environment and Independent Mobility’ by Norinder.
