Vermont Early Mobility
About
Helping teams create independent movement options for children with complex developmental needs.
Our goal is to introduce independent movement options for children through the use of power – but what does that mean?
Powered mobility can be defined as anything from modifying a child’s ride on toy car to designing a personalized power wheelchair for someone. When we think about giving a child the option of power, we are giving them opportunity to move and explore and learn and participate.
This project ended in 2024.
Although our projected ended, we believe that research and information should be available to all Vermont families and teams who would like to explore mobility options for young children. Online resources will continue to be available at Early Mobility Resources.

“Our experience with the Vermont Early Mobility program was very positive. Their expertise and thoroughness was evident from the very beginning and their insightfulness was eye opening to us. They were knowledgeable about all facets of the project – understanding what our son’s abilities were and how that translated into making the vehicle functional for him while also ensuring the safety and supports necessary for his enjoyment.
