Conductive Education (C.E.) is a special education, not a treatment or therapy. According to Prof. Andr�s Pet�, the Hungarian founder of this rehabilitation system, the main goal of Conductive Education is an orthofunctioning personality. The precise, scientific meaning of the term orthofunction continuously a subject for debate but it is clear that C.E. aims to enable children and adults to change their physical abilities and performance through a guided approach of problem solving (series of tasks). By experiencing success, they discover that they can find their own solutions to many problems of daily living. The conductor offers clear guidence, support and sense of direction, who takes responsibility for all aspects of physical, intellectual, social and personal development of the children with whom they work.
