Conductive Education (C.E.) is an intensive program developed for
people with neuromuscular disorders, such as Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson
Disease, MS etc.
During a C.E. program while participating in a group activities children
are motivated, challenged and guided through functional goals. These
goals are broken into a series of tasks (bending -stretching limbs,
opening and closing hands, sitting, rolling, standing etc) that are
key to basic functional movements. Children learn to be more independent
and by repeated experience of success they build and improve their self-esteem.
The main goal of C.E. is the comprehensive development of the personality
based on active learning. C.E. focuses on the person as a whole, not
on his/her individual symptoms.
C.E. offers an intensive rehabilitation program, which covers various
aspects of development, for instance: physical, educational, communication
& language skills and social & emotional skills. C.E. aims to guide
each child to gain more control over their bodies and to reach their
maximum potential (orthofunction).
C. E. is a learning system designed to enable children/adults with
disabilities to function more independently. It is a melding of education
and fine and gross motor exercise techniques based on the idea that
motor control can be learned.

palsy,
but rather, what can the child do to help himself" - Dr. Andras Peto
