Testimonials . . .
“When I want to show off the great things
that are being done for the DD population of Maryland, I
immediately think of your program and call to see if I can bring
up a group for a tour. You guys are great, you have a wonderful
program.”
Gordon Geller, former Safety
Director, CSBC
“The progress your MOVE clients are making
makes the word impressive almost an understatement. We met some
wonderful people doing some extraordinary things. The dedication
and care I saw among the CCR staff makes me wish more could see
what you accomplish. I don’t ever recall seeing so many
dedicated people working together in one location. Frankly, I
wish my visit had been longer so I could have spent more time
with the people who make a difference in the lives of so many.
Your staff and clients touched me in places I haven’t felt in
years.”
James W. Varley,
Administrator, Division of Communications, Kern County Schools
I know I’ve said this before, but in my
opinion, you operate a facility second to none. More should see
the care you provide your adult clients. Your staff is so
dedicated and focused on the clients. We are extremely
fortunate you opened your facility to be the first adult MOVE
pilot site. Thanks to you more will enjoy an improved quality of
life. CCR is such a wonderful example of how people with
disabilities should be treated and respected.

Mike had a great Christmas Eve and Day. We
did get him in the Pacer. His brother helped me, and Mike loved
being up when we were opening gifts. He did take a few
steps. His nephews were amazed he’s as tall as he is; they’ve
never seen him upright before. Thank you so much for taking the
time to bring the Pacer here for us.
Mrs. A, mother
On behalf of Linda Bidabe, Stacie and
Keith Whinnery and the MOVE International Board of Directors, a
very, very sincere thank you for all of the efforts of you and
your staff in coordinating an absolutely outstanding two days
for the consultations by Linda, Stacie, and Keith and for the
designation and certification of Chesapeake Care Resources (CCR)
becoming the first MOVE for Adults Model Site in the ENTIRE
world! Our visit far exceeded all of our expectations. It was
just a terrific and inspirational visit and there are no
adequate words to fully communicate what an impressive two days
it was to see how far the MOVE Program has progressed with your
wonderful adult learners since its first days. WOW! You and
your staff are to be congratulated and ought to feel very
pleased and proud of your notable, significant, and historic
groundbreaking efforts. The dedication and commitment to your
adult learners by everyone is clearly obvious and very
impressive.
David W. Schreuder, Executive Director, MOVE International
Thank you for inviting me to the MOVE
ceremony. The entire program was a reflection and demonstration
of your receptivity to innovative ideas, perseverance, hard work
and dedication. By embracing the MOVE program you are dispelling
preconceptions about many people who have complex disabilities.
You are the catalysts of positive change, enabling individuals
to become and achieve more…and for that, I thank you from my
heart.
This heartfelt thanks is because in
1973, I was the physical therapist for several of the people now
participating in MOVE. As the only PT for 135 children who left
Rosewood to go to Baltimore’s Highland Health Center I had so
many dreams and hopes…many of which, I never saw to fruition.
Who would have thought that over 30 years later I would see
these men and women again and witness the miracles you have
wrought!
Eileen Leaman, PT (retired)
