Conductive Education

What is Conductive Education?
Conductive Education is designed for those with conditions like cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and brain injuries. Created by Dr. Andras Pető in the 1940s, CE treats individuals as whole people, focusing on both body and personality. It involves a series of experiences and tasks that help people work with their motor disabilities, providing skills to improve daily activity.

What makes this approach special is its positive philosophy: it sees people as learners, not patients. CE promotes the connection between mind and body, with potential for physical improvements through regular movement.

Why Conductive Education?
Conductive Education is more than just therapy; it's a holistic, community-based approach that supports not only the person but their whānau as well. By focusing on long-term care and quality of life improvement, it nurtures a greater sense of well-being and community.
