OT DEPARTMENT RECEIVES GO BABY GO GRANT

We are so excited to share that the Department of Occupational Therapy has been awarded the Leahy Grant to start up a Go Baby Go chapter here on campus! Go Baby Go is a national community outreach program that provides adapted ride-on cars for children with limited mobility, allowing them to engage in play with their peers. The OT Department will work in collaboration with students from the mechanical engineering Departments to create approximately 12 adapted cars for members of the local community. Students will be divided into teams and will work together for the entire semester providing necessary modifications for their specific child. Children and their families will be invited to the University on May 5, where they will be presented with their cars. A big shout out to Professor Stephanie DeNaples for helping bring this program to the Scranton community; we are so excited to be a part of this program.
