Conductive Education® is an innovative learning system. The system deals not only with the physical needs, but also with the social and psychological issues facing people of all ages with neurological conditions.
Conductors, or specially trained instructors, work with program participants to help them gain, or regain, physical mobility and self-sufficiency one small step at a time.
Unlike most medical or therapeutic models of treatment, Conductive Education® attempts to change the way people see their own abilities, and to raise their awareness of the way their body works.
The repeated process of setting and attaining small goals helps develop independence and self-esteem, and encourages participants to keep working.
Tasks are designed to focus on co-ordinating the physical, mental and emotional factors by making the body and the mind work together.
Some of the areas in which Conductive Education® can help include:
- balance, breathing and co-ordination
- sitting up without help
- developing hand-eye co-ordination
- establishing security and self-confidence
- learning or improving self-expression
- dealing with crowded environments
- bowel and bladder control
- verbal and non-verbal communication
- developing self-sufficiency, reducing dependence on others
