Appropriate Candidates for Conductive Education· Conductive education is an appropriate method of teaching motor function to children and adults who have motor disorders resulting from damage or disease to the central nervous system. · Families interested in conductive education at our Center complete a detailed application form and participate in a hands-on assessment. · All children participating in the program require a physician’s release to participate in an intensive motor function therapy program. · Many families have children with Cerebral Palsy and wish to find treatments to best serve their children. Conductive education is one option for many children with CP. Unfortunately, conductive education is not appropriate for every child with CP. For conductive education to succeed, the child must have good visual and auditory skills, he/she must be able to benefit from a group setting, he/she must be able to tolerate the intensity of the program, and the child's level of cognition must be at a point where the child is able to interact with others and follow directions accurately.
