Creating a society inclusive of people with physical disabilities
|
|
As of today, children with physical disabilities are able to participate in a unique and highly effective form of rehabilitation therapy, Conductive Education®, being offered in Halifax by March of Dimes Canada.
Conductive Education® (CE) uses educational theories and practices developed in the1940s in Budapest, Hungary. Teachers work with persons with disabilities to develop the independence and functioning of each person. Conductive Education’s® positive, practical, progressive group approach to learning builds motivation, improves self-esteem and focuses on what one can achieve independently.
The program is offered in both the Melvern Square and Area Community Centre and YMCA of Greater Halifax/Dartmouth. Those interested in more information can arrange a visit by contacting Rachael Skinner at (902) 401-8425 or visiting the website at www.marchofdimescanada.ca
