Research suggests that children with physical disabilities engage in levels of physical activity that are approximately 30% lower than national fitness guidelines. They also spend double the amount of time in sedentary behavior relative to typically developing peers. The implications of not moving are serious. The long-term effects of decreased physical activity and increased sedentary behavior include metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and poor bone density. These poor activity patterns have been associated with a cascade of serious health implications for children with movement disorders, including reduced life expectancy.

The Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy is committed to the ongoing health and wellness of the children serve, beyond the therapy environment. We have recognized a need for program expansion in the area of health and wellness. We believe that regardless of ability, children should move and play in our city. be.well is a community-based wellness series for individuals with childhood-onset disability. Programs are guided by Cincinnati Children’s Division of Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy, administered by local community partners, and supported by philanthropic agencies including the Association of Volunteers for the Convalescent Hospital and the Cincinnati Parks Foundation.
