Conductive
Education
Educational inclusion
of children is the most pressing issue in adapting Conductive
Education to the contemporary world. Its close connection to
funding and even access to conductive services is particularly
marked over the years of compulsory schooling but its influence
is already strongly felt in the preschool years and perhaps
services for adults may also not remain unaffected.
Conductive
Education came from a country and from a time where concepts
such as integration and inclusion were not an issue
(though with Hungary joining the European
Union later this year it seems likely that new rights and new
economics will bring inclusion very much to the attention of
conductive services in that country too).
Outside Hungary
considerable heart-searching and adaptation have resulted from
the contradiction between Conductive Education as originally
exported from Hungary and the new inclusive order. In different
contexts different accommodations have been made.
Conductive
Education and educational inclusion need not necessarily be
opposed but it can prove very hard to find satisfactory
compromises. There are, however, ideas and experiences out there
from which others can learn – yet there has been remarkably
little published or communicated in other ways to make this more
widely known. This page will accumulate links to where other
shares what they have thought and done – or simply speculated:
there is no need to re-invent the
wheel.
Here are a few for
starters.
