Provide an overall understanding of the philosophy and main tenents of Conductive Education (CE).
CE is described as habilitation through learning. This unique group method of active learning allows individuals living with motor disorders opportunities to maximize their functional independence. The intervention technique provides a cost-effective, time-efficient group program, which promotes success and personal goal achievement.
This advanced training offers the practitioner higher level clinical knowledge and experience as well as hands-on clinical skills with conductive education. Additionally, the certificate program provides the opportunity for the development of evidence-based practice, which may lead to further studies supporting CE.
