BRAINTREE, Mass. - eTradeWire -- Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance recently partnered with Beaver Summer Camp to participate in Go Baby Go,  a program that custom modifies battery ride-on cars for young children with limited mobility.

Heather Hanson PT, Director of Pediatrics at Peak identified five patient families who would benefit from the program. She worked with the Design with Purpose Program for Middle School students at the Beaver Summer Camp in Chestnut Hill. Campers worked together in teams to design, customize, and build each car to meet the specific needs of each individual child.

At the start of the program each team met with their assigned family and learned about the unique needs and mobility challenges of the 3-5 year old children and then are guided by Hanson as they develop their specific designs. The campers rewire the car's electrical system, develop unique supports and harnesses, and hack the accelerator and ignition. They also decorate the cars based on the preschool age children's interests. At the end of the program the preschoolers meet with the campers and learn how to use their new cars.

"We are thrilled to have five of our families benefit from this program this year," said Hanson. The campers learn about the profound connection that mobility has on the children's brain growth, cognitive, social and emotional skills. They act as engineers and provide a way for the pre-school patients to fulfill their drive for self propulsion.  I have witnessed the difference it makes for a child, their siblings and parents when they are able to drive the car; it opens up a whole world of possibilities."
