OTD Capstone Projects

Abstract

This doctoral capstone project was completed in partnership with MOVE Inclusive Dance, an inclusive dance studio that empowers individuals of all ability levels to learn life skills through dance. The aim of this project was to provide parents and caregivers resources that would introduce them to different businesses and groups around the greater Nashville area. As a result, a parent and caregiver resource document was created to benefit families from early diagnosis in childhood to adulthood and included financial aid opportunities, respite care, support groups, legal planning, and many others. The project culminated with parent and caregiver appreciation week where different activities were planned and spokespeople from different businesses came to spread valuable information and resources to the parents while their child was taking dance class.
