Go Baby Go
Kinesiology program
Go Baby Go is a national, community-based research, design and outreach program that provides modified ride-on cars to children birth to age 3 who experience limited mobility.
The program began in 2012 with founder Cole Galloway at the University of Delaware. Integrating assistive technology, families, clinicians and industry partners, the program provides children with disability the opportunity for movement, mobility and socialization and has been expanding ever since.
The program began at Oregon State University, in the College of Health, in 2014 under the direction of Professor Sam Logan. Any inquiries should be sent to him via email or phone at (541) 737-3437.
Go Baby Go Oregon currently has three different adaptation programs that focus on modifying ride-on toy cars, toys, and board books for children with disabilities.
