Whats Conductive Education about?

OUR STORY

Small Beginnings 1980s, 1990s

In the 1980s a small group of parents were casting around trying to find a better way of supporting their children with Cerebral Palsy and physical disabilities.

They heard about

THE PET INSTITUTE in Hungary, founded by

DR.ANDRS Pet

1893 - 1967

Conductive Education He believed in a holistic approach to education: the development of the whole child socially and emotionally, along with movement, speech, mental ability, communication, self-care and cognitive

skills.

what to do.

Summer Camps for 100 pupils and their families, in association with SCOPE and with 50 Conductors
