Conductive Education is a system in which the education, treatment and care of handicapped children is concentrated in the hands of one highly trained individual - a conductor, in an intensive 24 hour individualised basis. Its spectacular success in Hungary poses a challenge to our multidisciplinary approach. It also challenges the medical model of teaching children with physical disability.
