What is Conductive Education?
Conductive Education (CE) was developed by the Hungarian physician András Peto, during the 1940s. Conductive education is a form of specialised neuro-rehabilitation.
CE is a holistic approach. Its aim is to help children and adults with motor disorders so they can learn to overcome problems of movement as a way of enabling them to live more
active and independent lives.

What is the Conductive Education Program objective?
Conductive education, the backbone of the Conductive Education program, is believed to be one of the most successful methods in motor disorders. The objective is to create a foundation for learning additional skills for routine everyday activities, srlf care  for people with CP.

Who is the Conductive Education Program designed for?
Conductive Education is designed to provide services for those with the desire to improve their motor skills, everyday life kills, and those who wish to improve their abilities, to make their everyday life easier. We focus on people with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson, SMS and Stroke.

What can one expect to gain out of the Conductive Education Program?
Each participant will be able to take part in an initial consultation, to see how CE would benefit them. Each participant (along with a family member, or helper) meets two conductors on an individual basis. During the one-hour consultation, the conductors will use their time to see the participant’s potential, and create a realistic program with realistic goals, to help the participant to a life with better quality.  After the initial consultation, the conductors write a written report including the observations and recomendations, on how CE would help. Once the participant recieves this report, he or she can decide whether or not, they would like to take part in the program. The timing of the progress depends on on-site participation, in-home practice and the frequency of both.

Who can participate in the Conductive Education Program?
Anyone, with Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson, SMS and stroke, and has the desire to improve their ability.

How long is the Conductive Education Program?
The program is designed to help your needs. Accordingly, the program is not within strict limitations either in form of time table or a specific education plan. We offer continuous programs, which are designed for the progress of each participating member.

Who are behind the Conductive Education Program?
The specialists providing the conductive education programs are called conductors, who have acquired special eudcation and therapy skills through extensive training and work experience in helping people with CP. Conductors are trained to view medical conditions as problems of learning. In practice this means that the focus is on teaching the person ‘how’ to achieve control over movements rather than seeing problems as an inevitable part of the condition. The conductor is trained to plan programmes, observe movements and help people to learn how to increase their level of ability. Each person has the potential to improve from where they are now; the conductor is constantly looking for such opportunities and such potential.The role of the conductor is to use all areas of knowledge during each session, as an integrated approach to helping each participant achieve their goals. The conductors are graduates of the Peto Institute of Hungary, where they undergo a four year program. The Peto Institute is the founding establishment of conductive education, and still today the program with the most extensive educational and training requirements. (The Peto Methodology based conductive education programs outside of Hungary only exist in the UK and to a certain degree in the United States.)  All conductors at our center are professionally qualified and approved to work with children and adults.

Is there a minimum length of time required for participating in the Conductive Education Program?
Realistic expectations are important. The Conductive Education Program is not a promise for a miracle, however, progress can be made. Success in learning the skills requires time and regular repetition. Once you have familiarized yourself with the benefits of the program, you can decide on frequency and length of participation.

What age gorups can participate in the Conductive Education Program?
The program is available for all ages, 

 Should parent/guardian other help accompany participants during the Conductive Education Program?

The program is desgined for participants only, but we can meet individual needs, if required. We will also offer weekend classes for participants and their supporters to teach skills for in-home practice and training. Participation in these classes is not only welcome but also encouraged for parents and guardians with participants attending regular class. In our regular group settings, parents are not present due to privacy reasons, and this way also providing respire for the families, while their children take part in our group programs. Children have 1:1 assisstants within the group if needed, and required.

 How can I co-ordinate my regular school activities with participating in the Conductive Education Program?

The program is designed to suit your needs. Please help us determine your requirements by filling in the SERVICES NEEDS ASSESSMENT QUESTIONNAIRE survey to determine your needs.

Are there set classes in the Conductive Education Program?
Everyone has different life schedules and commitments in life, so we will try our best to coordinate it according to your needs.  However, participants are assigned into groups, according to their abilities and needs. The group creates a strong bond beween the participants, and it also takes a big part in helping each participant reach their goals. If possible,  it is highly recommended that the participant tries to take part in the same group which he or she was initially assigned to. Of course, each participant of the program is expected to progress at their own speed, and we are set up to adopt to these challenges. 

Should I bring any special equipment for participating in the Conductive Education Program?
All support tools, specially designed exercise and support furniture is provided by the program. Each participant should only bring what is required for their daily routine.

Are you equipped to deal with special needs during the Conductive Education Program?
The typical program is for 3.5-4 hours per day per participant. Accordingly, the program through its speicalized staff is equipped to attend to the needs of participants during the stays in the program. For special requirements please consult us via the Additional Questions/Comments section of the Contact page of this website.
