Learn All About Conductive Education

Conductive Education (CE) is an educational approach developed in Hungary by Dr Andras Peto. Peto was motivated by his interest in the rehabilitation of individuals who suffered with physical disabilities. His real interest was with the connection between body and mind. He designed CE to be a structure that incorporated education, therapy and academic learning into one comprehensive approach.
