How is conductive education different from the therapy one receives in the health care system?
The basic difference lies in the approach. A conductor sees a client as a student; not a patient. A conductor is fundamentally a teacher; not a therapist. Yes, conductors are trained in a myriad of therapeutic methods; but their primary goal is help a person learn to function as much as possible. The primary piece of “equipment” that a conductor uses is the raw skill and potential of the student; upon which they build and build in a learning circle with the parent and child and family together.
