Empowering children with disabilities through family-centered therapy and local collaboration.

In Motion for Kids is a nonprofit organization that supports and empowers children with disabilities and trains professionals in pediatric neurorehabilitation therapy. We focus on a family-oriented approach with realistic, implementable therapy plans tailored to the unique needs of each child and their family or caregiver.

We work directly on location with the children and the people involved in their everyday life, the family, caregivers, and therapists, to find supportive, creative, and affordable solutions that help the child grow in their own abilities.

“Every child is unique and has an inner light that wants to shine. It is up to us to see that light and help it glow.”

— Kirsten Ursem, 2025
