Therapy & Mobility the miracle of conductive education

Step By Step

Conductive education (c/e) is a form of physical therapy that consists of simple repetitive exercises & therapy along with persistent stimulation & encouragement. This treatment works miracles with children who are challenged with cerebral palsy & other special needs where the muscles are frozen or spastic.

We have been helping Xinjiang orphanages implement c/e since the year 2000 and orphanage workers readily embraced the concepts. The children's carers are keen to increase their skills & pass on this knowledge to their colleagues. The results are so encouraging....Many children can now sit, stand, feed & dress themselves, grasp toys & write......children who might never have walked can.

Because c/e is low tech & requires only a few simple pieces of equipment & is easily passed on we know that it is feasible that we can reach many more of the needy children in Xin Jiang, not only those in orphanages but those in poor families too.

As well as the conductive education training we are also investing many resources for training caregivers in special education, occupational therapy and child development. We bring experts to Xinjiang and also send caregivers to inner China where other organisations hold training conferences.
