Conductive Education (CE) teaches children and adults with neurological conditions and difficulties with motor control how to overcome their movement problems and lead more independent and fulfilled lives. Conductive Education is a process of learning and teaching where the patient actively learns new ways of achieving activities.


The principles of Conductive Education



This approach uses a combination of psychology and education focusing on an individual?s emotions, motivations, awareness, and skills in order to develop physical function.

The key principles of this conductive education include:
  • The patient is responsible for his or her efforts and initiative.
  • It is a self-directed spontaneous approach to problem solving.
  • The therapist acts as a facilitator, providing the optimum environment so the individual can develop their function in society without the use of aids or assistive devices
  • Educational techniques and teaching is necessary to create new abilities and new potentials
  • Treatment sessions take place in groups and is structured and controlled throughout the whole day.
Functional activities are broken down into their component parts and tasks are learnt through the use of repetition and reinforcement. The term ‘rhythmic intension’ is used to describe how individuals are instructed to use their cognition and language to organise, plan and carry out movements.

A hierarchy of tasks exists in that once movements becomes automatic the next task in the sequence can be begun.
