- Conductive Education (CE)
Conductive Education is developed from the work of Austrian-Hungarian physician Dr. Andras Peto. From the late forties till his death in 1967 Peto worked in Budapest with adults and children with motor disorders. It was brought to Hong Kong and perfected in the early 80s.
Conductive Education is neither therapy treatment nor cure. Conductive Education acknowledges that society may erect terrible barriers to children with disabilities, for which social action is required.
Conductive Education asserts that there is much more to living and development than just the medical and the social. There is the psychological too and, as in every sphere of human life, this is best addressed by education in its widest sense. Further, as in all excellent education, the goal of Conductive Education is to create autonomous learners who can go on to learn, adapt and develop under their own direction, because that is how they have learned to be.
Conductive Education's goal is learning how to learn, learning to find one's own ways to achieve personally formulated goals, experiencing greater independence and exercising choice.
In Conductive Education learners are regarded as individuals who need and ought to learn for themselves. Moreover, each individual has to be taught as a totality, a human being, rather than an assembly of 'needs' or deficits.
Movements and skills cannot be taught on their own, only within complex co-ordinations which have meaning, intention and purpose and are social in their origin. Intention and purpose require the will to try and emotional commitment to learn. Creating social and personal situations that lead learners to find their own emotional commitment to learn, 'conduction', is the central and defining feature of conductive education, it refers to teaching, teaching moreover with a particular style, in which learners are led (i.e. conducted) to become active learners.
The plan is to implement the Japanese Psychological Rehabilitation - Dohsa-Hou ¨C in CereCare.
