News:  

As a leader in the field, the Center is committed to community outreach to make Conductive Education programming available beyond our service area.  The Center is currently collaborating with Governors State University in University Park, IL  to provide a similar program to inner city schools where children of low income, or minorities with physical disabilities are underserved.

Through a grant from the Coleman Foundation, the Center serves as the Lab School/Training Site for Physical and Occupational Therapists enrolled in Governors State University’s Certification Program in the Principles of Conductive Education.
