Conductive Education is an educational approach developed in Hungary by Dr Andras Peto. Dr Peto was motivated by his interest with the connection between body and mind. He designed Conductive Education to be a structure that incorporates education, therapy and academic learning into one comprehensive approach.
Conductive Education helps people achieve their potential by nurturing and developing an attitude to learning which is based on the simultaneous development of movement, function and personality. The desire to achieve, to be successful and to reach new goals is paramount in this process.
Conductive Education enables people to view themselves positively through meaningful activity. It assists them in problem-solving and learning strategies and techniques to approach the various challenges faced.
Who can Benefit?
Conductive Education is a system of integrated education and therapy which can help any child with a neurological movement problem. Whilst Cerebral Palsy is the most common condition, there are also many children with genetic disorders, global developmental delay and other conditions who may benefit.
