Conductive Education
Introduction of Conductive Education
✤ Conductive Education is a rehabilitation system, which originated from Hungary in the early 1950s. This is a holistic programme

Effects
✤Conductive education can help to gain as much independence as possible, but like all forms of rehabilitation, cannot be a cure
✤ Group work is an essential component in Conductive Education. Sharing of success, experience and techniques are key parts of learning how to manage the condition on a daily basis. The group has a strong motivational force
✤ In a friendly and positive atmosphere participants can maximize their use of movements, rediscover their abilities and find confidence to manage the condition
✤ The programme based on active learning rather than passive Treatment
✤ Its practitioners are called ‘conductors’
Benefits
✤ Adults with physical disabilities also have great potential to maintain current and develop further motor skills. If they are able to attend regular sessions they would most definitely benefit from it; practising an individualised 'task series'. This would make them physically less dependent and as such give them greater autonomy in their life
✤ It is important that everyone in their support network will understand the task series and adheres to the principles of it to maximise on the positive impact it will have on their mobility
