| Annotation | Conductive education has been described as a system of habilitation, special education and rehabilitation for children and adults who have motor disorders, conditions where disease of damage to the central nervous system affect individuals' abilities to control bodily movement. In adults, these include Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, strokes and head injury. This study sought information and opinion from disabled adults and parents of disabled children who received services from the Birmingham Institute for Conductive Education between September 1992 and March 1994. It aimed to investigate whether the descriptions, aims and rationale of the practice of conductive education expounded by practitioners and service providers had factors in common with the ways that it was experienced by service users, and whether these met users' needs. The Birmingham Institute has now been absorbed into the National Institute of Conductive Education. |
