Conductive Education Course Parkinson's UK Romsey Branch

The Romsey Parkinson’s Disease Society has been providing conductive education for many of its members for over two years.

The conductive education system with its dynamic, active movement classes and programmes aims to provide holistic and integrated solutions for dealing with the symptoms and manifestations of Parkinson’s.

Conductive education also provides solutions for individuals with other neurological

conditions.

The complexity and the design of the programmes assist active problem solving and management of everyday living and functioning.

The participants practise solving a series of motor tasks which gradually increase in complexity in lying, sitting and standing positions and through a specialised walking programme.

With speech, rhythm and movement elements engaged, conductive education promotes conscious control of movements.

The classes, which last for two hours, are both fun and inspirational.

Fundamentals of conductive upbringing

"In fond and respectful remembrance of Mária Hári

by Katalin Bíró

ABSTRACT. Over many years the author collaborated with Mária Hári, helped her express her ideas in writing and lectured to student-conductors on conductive upbringing. Derived from this experience and in remembrance of Mária Hári the present article offers ten principles

underlying conductive upbringing and pedagogy: valuing life, respect for humanity; pedagogic optimism; pedagogic value; tolerance; activity-centredness; communal upbringing; teaching through conflict; integration; bipolarity; complexity."
