When you need to find Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Jennifer Tucker \u201923PhD<\/strong>, chances are she\u2019s sitting cross-legged on a vinyl floor, tinkering with a child\u2019s electric car in the College of Health Professions and Sciences<\/a> Rehabilitation Innovation Center.<\/p>\n

Or giving her cellphone number to parents of children with mobility challenges, encouraging them to call with questions or text photos of their kids driving their customized cars around their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

Or organizing dozens of volunteers \u2014 ranging from elementary schoolers to college students training to become future physical therapists, educators and engineers \u2014 in one of her many hands-on Go Baby Go! workshops throughout the year.<\/p>\n

A national, community-based research<\/a>, design and outreach program, Go Baby Go! provides accessible and inexpensive solutions for kids and adults with limited mobility at no cost to their families.<\/p>\n

True to the name of Go Baby Go!, Tucker hasn\u2019t stopped for a moment since introducing the program at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ a decade ago. More than 200 cars and happily cruising kids later, Tucker and her team are gaining speed.<\/p>\n

\"Child<\/p>\n

\n

\"A<\/p>\n

The origin of Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s Go Baby Go! begins in Spring 2015, roughly 900 miles north of the university\u2019s main campus, at the University of Delaware. At the time, Tucker was six years into her teaching tenure at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½. She says, while she loved shaping the next generation of pediatric physical therapists, she missed daily interactions with patients and impacting them as a clinician.<\/p>\n

As she searched for a solution to fill that passion, she discovered the University of Delaware\u2019s Go Baby Go! \u2014 the first iteration of the program founded by Cole Galloway. His idea explored promoting mobility through play by modifying electric riding cars through household items including pool noodles, swimming kickboards, PVC pipe and industrial-strength Velcro to fit a child\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know when we look at children, from the minute they can figure out their arms and legs move, play is how they learn,\u201d Tucker says. \u201cChildren [who] have motor impairments \u2026 don\u2019t get the opportunity to have some of that cause and effect because they stay where they\u2019re put. They don\u2019t get to see, \u2018If I do this, then this happens.\u2019 And it diminishes their opportunities because the world doesn\u2019t always come to the child who is still. Many times, they have to go crash into it. That\u2019s where these modified cars can make a huge difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker goes on to explain the benefits of movement and play as they relate to a child\u2019s development \u2014 affecting cognition, speech and language skills, and self-efficacy.<\/p>\n

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, \u201cearly learning and play are fundamentally social activities and fuel the development of language and thought. Early learning also combines playful discovery with the development of social-emotional skills.\u201d Plus, \u201cplay has been shown to have both direct and indirect effects on brain structure and functioning \u2026 [and] usually enhances curiosity, which facilitates memory and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if we can offer a form of movement in the same moment that their peer would experience in a typical developmental timeline, we can hopefully alter that trajectory and maybe prevent some secondary impairments, like diminished self-efficacy, or speech and language delays,\u201d Tucker says. \u201cThat\u2019s the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker thought Galloway\u2019s Go Baby Go! had promise and wanted to learn more. She cold-called Galloway on the spot, and he offered to visit Orlando to collaborate on opening a chapter of Go Baby Go! at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½.<\/p>\n

It seemed like a no-brainer \u2014 with three children\u2019s hospitals within a 20-mile radius of the main campus, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s longstanding commitment to community partnership and Orlando\u2019s reputation as a family-friendly destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Cole visited, he said, \u2018Jen, this place is magical. If this should happen anywhere, this should happen here,\u2019 \u201d Tucker says.<\/p>\n

She adds that Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ was unequivocally supportive when she brought the idea to administration, who asked her what she needed to get started. Two months later, thanks in large part to Go Baby Go!\u2019s first philanthropic gift from the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ and the community partnered for the chapter\u2019s first car-building event.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen it just exploded,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

For as long as she can remember, Cami Osier \u201915 \u201919DPT<\/strong> has been interested in working with children. The push toward physical therapy, she thinks, stems from her own experience observing her older brother\u2019s progression from therapy after he sustained a stroke at the age of 10.<\/p>\n

She says he was told he would never walk again. Years later, he started running half marathons.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Osier \u2014 who is now the associate director of Go Baby Go! and a pediatric therapist for Balanced Baby, a small business that offers prenatal and newborn services \u2014 was deep into her first semester of the doctoral physical therapy program (DPT)<\/a> at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ when she says she was struggling with rigorous coursework. She felt very disconnected from her \u201cwhy\u201d \u2014 why she even wanted to become a physical therapist.<\/p>\n

Go Baby Go! was gearing up for its second carbuilding event, sponsored by Orlando Health, that would produce 10 motorized, child-size Lightning McQueen vehicles<\/a>. Despite her limited free time, Osier decided to sign up to help, not knowing much more than it was about \u201ckids in cars.\u201d<\/p>\n

She showed up and put all her studies into practice (while figuring out power tools she had never used before) to lead a team in outfitting a car for a little boy named Asher.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did this big race on Memory Mall, and I just wanted to cry. I thought, \u2018This is why I\u2019m doing this,\u2019 \u201d Osier says. \u201cI knew my purpose, so in that semester I was able to hunker down. Whenever I started to feel that disconnect, I could call back on that moment and remind myself that that was why I was putting myself through the stress of grad school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, the program has averaged 10 to 15 workshops from August through May annually to benefit children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old with mobility issues stemming from Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and osteogenesis, among others.<\/p>\n

Every DPT student at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ is exposed to Go Baby Go! because of the academic program\u2019s curriculum requirements. Participation is not mandatory, but Tucker says inevitably a core group of students every year commits to volunteering every chance they can.<\/p>\n

Cait Wilkerson \u201920 \u201923DPT<\/strong>, who now works locally as a pediatric therapist at BrightStart Pediatrics, was one of those students. She still shows up around Tucker\u2019s lab and Go Baby Go! events. She\u2019s even referred some of her patients to the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t interested in pediatrics at first,\u201d says Wilkerson, who was hired at BrightStart immediately after graduation. \u201cGoing to Go Baby Go! events made me want to do it more. Now with my job, I work with super complex kids, and my experience at Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ and with Go Baby Go! and Dr. Tucker prepared me for that. It has had a huge impact on what I do now, and why I\u2019m passionate about my job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the last decade, Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s Go Baby Go! has built up such a reputation that prospective students talk about it in their interviews as they look to gain acceptance into the doctoral program. It\u2019s gone international, too, with partnerships in Belgium<\/a> and Wales. It formed a community advisory board in May 2025 with 13 partners, including Wilkerson, all ready to work together to make children\u2019s lives better and the community stronger.<\/p>\n

As word has gotten around, students from other majors have gotten involved. College of Engineering and Computer Science<\/a> students have helped with the re-wiring required for the cars to go at the push of a button. Education<\/a> and psychology majors<\/a> have asked to join, and one College of Medicine<\/a> student was so impacted by her experience at a build that she asked Tucker to serve as her research mentor. That alum is now training to be a neuro-developmental pediatrician.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe students are the engine that runs Go Baby Go! I couldn\u2019t do it without them,\u201d Tucker says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s mutually beneficial for them because this is an opportunity to practice professional skills they are going to need in the workforce: interacting with families, talking with them about a patient\u2019s strengths, assessing the fit of a child in a device,\u201d she adds. \u201cThey\u2019re practicing these skills in a way that\u2019s so much more impactful because there\u2019s an actual child in front of them. We\u2019re problem-solving in real time: \u2018He can\u2019t lift his shoulders up. What should we do to the button?\u2019 And that\u2019s a different sort of active learning and problem-based learning that really can\u2019t be replicated in a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

A blonde toddler diagnosed with a form of muscular dystrophy sorts through Mickey Mouse and Bluey stickers for a red Mercedes convertible, which arrived by way of Amazon. Yellow pool noodles flank the sides of the car. A swimming kickboard helps support a padded seat insert. A chunk of an orange pool noodle boosts a blue plastic disc on the top of the steering wheel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d like to see him with the chest strap and let\u2019s bring the button closer. We\u2019ll see if he can do it. I think he can,\u201d Tucker says.<\/p>\n

The tot is a tad apprehensive at first. His mother places her hand on the newly affixed button.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you squish mommy\u2019s hand?\u201d<\/p>\n

Challenge accepted. And<\/em> completed. He smiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this placement makes a big difference,\u201d Tucker says.<\/p>\n

Tucker then turns to the parents. She gives them two of the three rules she lives by, along with her cellphone number.<\/p>\n

No. 1: The car is not therapy. It\u2019s a toy. Go have fun with your child.<\/p>\n

No. 2: Have the child wear a helmet, just like they would on a bike.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s No. 3, her biggest rule: The cars don\u2019t cost anybody anything.<\/p>\n

Philanthropy has made that possible through major partnerships<\/a> with Orlando Health and Variety \u2013 the Children\u2019s Charity of Florida, along with nearly 70 other donors from the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrograms like Go Baby Go! reflect Orlando Health\u2019s commitment to meeting children where they are and helping them reach their fullest potential,\u201d says Justin Williams, president of the Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children. \u201cBy supporting innovative initiatives that promote mobility, independence and confidence, we\u2019re not just enhancing care \u2014 we\u2019re empowering children and their families in meaningful, lasting ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September 2025, Go Baby Go! welcomed families and partners from the past 10 years to witness then 18-month-old Lucy Luhmann receive the program\u2019s 200th car. The crowd cheered Lucy on as she smiled and drove her white Mercedes car, which matches the vehicle her mom, alumna Jolene Luhmann \u201919<\/strong>, owns.<\/p>\n

Among the crowd was Noelle Adisano, who at age 11 months, was one of the first children to receive a Go Baby Go! car, which included a Minnie Mouse design. Adisano had gross motor delay, which is a lag in development of large muscle groups that control whole-body motions, due to a partially deleted chromosome. She used the car for over a year, which allowed her to venture outside and cruise along the family\u2019s big circular driveway.<\/p>\n

Adisano, now 9, is on to bigger things as a competitive gymnast, following in the footsteps of her big sister, Guiliana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat early intervention was key for her,\u201d says her mother, Aimee.<\/p>\n

As Go Baby Go! celebrates a decade of impact, Tucker is still most delighted by the simplest of moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love when families tell me that their kids are having sibling fights about the car, or they had to childproof their house because their kids were banging the car into the walls,\u201d Tucker says. \u201cThose are really exciting moments because these are important rites of passage in childhood. We visited one home and there were tire tracks all over their backyard. I\u2019ve never been so happy in my entire life. That kid tore up the entire backyard. But that\u2019s what he\u2019s supposed to be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The prospect that excites her most these days is growing Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½\u2019s Kids Building for Kids initiative, which debuted in 2018. So far, they\u2019ve engaged with 2,000 students from Central Florida elementary, middle and high schools in workshops to build cars for children specifically in their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s been deeply impactful for a lot of the kids, particularly when they\u2019re in middle school and high school, and considering STEM because these kids are so smart,\u201d Osier says. \u201cWhen they get a chance to do something for good, you can just see those light bulbs going off: \u2018What else could I create that could make someone else\u2019s life more enjoyable? Can I use my brain that I\u2019ve been gifted to make something better for someone else?\u2019 And I think that\u2019s so cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tucker is eagerly awaiting the moment when she starts to teach Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ students who were first exposed to Go Baby Go! as participants in the Kids Building for Kids program.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of these schools we go to year after year \u2014 when I walk in, the students say, \u2018Hey, you\u2019re that Go Baby Go! lady.\u2019 And I say, \u2018I am that Go Baby Go! lady,\u2019 \u201d Tucker says with a big smile. \u201cWe\u2019ve become a part of their culture, and they associate us with Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½. They get really excited, and they wear their black and gold. These are going to be our future students. We\u2019re going to have kids come to Â鶹ӳ»­´«Ã½ because they were exposed as middle schoolers and they built a car. I can\u2019t wait for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

And the driving force behind it all is her team\u2019s unwavering commitment to better the lives of kids.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe plan to continue to move the needle and hopefully reshape people\u2019s perspectives about the capacity of children,\u201d Tucker says. \u201cDon\u2019t define them. You don\u2019t know who they\u2019re going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
