Conductive Education in Western Australia

Conductive Education (CE) is located at the Carson street school in Victoria Park, Perth.

For those that are not sure what CE is or how it helps our kids with a disability please read on. CE is a school based program that allows children to learn how to communicate but also teaches them how to use thier body, to sit, stand and walk all those thing most people take for granted these kids must be taught.

Without the dedicated teachers, conductors and assistants these kids really would have limited scope to achieve learning the basic skills required to attend a mainstream school. As Jacks Dad it is my responsibility to teach Jack all of those skills to live in this world, but in reality how can I teach those thing I do not know. CE has opened my world to the possibilities that are available to my son. CE has taught me the necessary skills I need to ensure Jack continues to learn and practice his new skills at home.

Its amazing how much Jack has developed in 18 Months, from the first day he attended the program until today. I literally have a new little boy, one who is learning to do things for himself unaided. We are a long way from walking but we hope he may crawl this year.  

There is currenty only one CE program that is supported by the Education Department in W.A. This program has a waiting list a mile long, there are many parents with the hope their child will one day have the opportunity to attend this program. Yet this may not happen, funding for CE is under doubt they only receive $200,000 per year and this is barely enough  to meet costs.

CE needs your support
