The London Centre for Children with Cerebral Palsy caters for children with cerebral palsy up to the age of 11 years, who may have a range of physical and learning disabilities. Children are assessed to determine their ability to participate and learn in order to benefit from Conductive Education. Conductive Education is an integrated system of learning and not a treatment or therapy. As such, the assessment would aim to determine the suitability of a place in our school for a child.
Families are welcome to arrange an informal visit to the School. Referrals are also accepted from professionals within the child’s local authority. When an assessment is be carried out to determine if the child would benefit from the system of Conductive Education, permission is sought from the parents for educational, therapeutic and medical reports to be obtained. The child may then be offered an age-appropriate place or be put on a waiting list.
Ongoing assessments of the children’s progress is undertaken to indicate whether Conductive Education continues to be appropriate for them. Individual and group aims are set, recorded and reviewed on a half-termly basis.
