So his mom was astonished when the 13-month-old drove his new retrofitted motorized toy racecar zooming past a UCF building.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis by far exceeded all my expectations,\u201d said his mother Shannon Dowdell of Merritt Island. \u201cI came here hoping he\u2019d enjoy himself, and inside of 30 seconds of being in the little car he was doing things he\u2019s never done before. He pushed up, he\u2019s never done that before. His mobility has already improved and I\u2019m just so grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barnabas and 10 other toddlers with special needs watched as their physical therapists worked alongside University of Central Florida faculty to retrofit motorized toy cars as part of an official GoBabyGo event May 29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want parents to know that if they missed today, it\u2019s not a missed opportunity,\u201d said Jennifer Tucker, the faculty member in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/doctor-of-physical-therapy-dpt\/\">Doctor of Physical Therapy Program<\/a> who is leading the effort for UCF. \u201cWe\u2019ll be doing more of these workshops and we hope this is just the beginning. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>The hope is to establish an innovative center for mobility at UCF in partnership with GoBabyGo founder, Cole Galloway. The center would focus on researching and developing new and inexpensive mobility options for children and adults with motor impairments; teaching the next generation of physical therapists best practices; and offering the community a clinic where children and adults could gain access to mobility devices tailored toward their unique needs.<\/p>\n<p>To see video from Friday\u2019s event <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kPuVJ-yPOlA\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>GoBabyGo is a national movement led by Galloway, a professor, physical therapist and associate chair at the University of Delaware. He\u2019s been helping groups across the country learn how to retrofit toy vehicles since 2012. Galloway\u2019s expertise focuses on motor behaviors of infants, especially in the area of neural, biomechanical, behavioral and environmental influences as they learn to coordinate their early head, arm and leg behaviors for later skills, such as reaching, sitting and walking. The National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation fund much of his work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2015\/06\/cohpa_150529_245-e1433169513764.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium img-fluid wp-image-66637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2015\/06\/cohpa_150529_245-300x247.jpg\" alt=\"cohpa_150529_245\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium img-fluid wp-image-66637 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"cohpa_150529_245\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2015\/06\/cohpa_150529_245-300x247.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Galloway spent two days at UCF teaching faculty and parents about why movement is so important in the social and physical development of children and some of the latest research and physical therapy techniques that can make a difference. He demonstrated innovative techniques to help give children independent movement. As part of the workshop the families received the retrofitted vehicles at no cost to them. It costs less than $300 to adapt the vehicles for the children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just so thrilled,\u201d Dowdell said as she watched her son start and stop his vehicle in front of the College of Health and Public Affairs I building Friday. \u201cAnd his future is so bright with UCF starting a program for adults like my son who want to get a college degree. There\u2019s so much potential here.
