WHAT IS CONDUCTIVE EDUCATION?
CONDUCTIVE EDUCATION is a holistic learning system. It is a form of special education and rehabilitation for children and adults with motor disorders. It is a learning process taught by a qualified Conductor and is not defined as a treatment, therapy or a series of exercises. The skills learnt are those needed to meet the challenges of everyday life. The principles of Conductive Education can be surmounted to developing a new co-ordination. To achieve this the brain utilises it's re-organisational ability. Conductive Education is appropriate for conditions where disease or damage to the central nervous system affects an individual's ability to control movement. In childhood these conditions include cerebral palsy and dyspraxia. In adulthood these conditions include Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, the after effects of a stroke and those that have received a head injury.
