Bethany M. Sloane, PT, DPT, PCS

Co-Director Go Baby Go Oregon; Pediatric Physical Therapist at Oregon Health & Science University

I have been directing the Portland chapter of Go Baby Go Oregon since 2014. Since my first involvement with this group I was drawn to the innovation, creativity, and fun ways to connect all kids to play, mobility, and participation!

Heather Higashi, PT, DPT, PCS

I am a pediatric physical therapist working in Early Intervention at Northwest Regional ESD and am adjunct faculty in the PT program at Pacific University. I began volunteering at Go Baby Go events in 2017 as a PT student and joined the committee in 2021. Go Baby Go sparked my passion for creating accessible and inclusive play opportunities for children and I love being on a committee with like-minded people who exude creativity, innovation, and fun.

I love being part of such an innovative group of people supporting kids to move, play, communicate, and socialize.

Gayle Hernandez

I am a retired PT—working in public education for most of my career, including a stint teaching at PSU in the Special Education program. I love problem solving and helping ALL children have fun and play. I love to hang with my family, camp, read, garden, and play with my two dogs.
