CP/Developmental delay

Hi ladies, I've posted this in parenting a child with special needs as well, but thought more people might see it here (and pass info on to people who could benefit from it..)


I was wondering if those of you with littlies with CP/developmental delay were aware of conductive education? My DD has CP, and at 18 months she had only just starting sitting (with hands down for support), and rolling, slowly. We've been at conductive education since January of this year, and since then she can now sit without needing hands for support, roll, pull herself up, take steps with a frame, commando crawl, aaaand, any day now, shes going to start crawling (something I honestly thought would never happen!) This post isn't to gloat, but I am just wondering if people were aware conductive education is out there. If it wasn't for friends of ours (whose daughter also has CP), we would never have heard about it. For some reason not many Paeds know about/promote it either, and it is such a shame.

Anyway, here is the link for conductive education at Iris in Auckland -

and also for Conductive Education NZ - here

Thanks everyone, I'm sure there are so many families out there who could benefit massively and aren't even aware this is available. In our eyes the conductors are miracle workers.
