Overview
A conductor is a professional who helps children with cerebral palsy or adults with central nervous system damage, using a world-famous and effective conductive method. Conductive pedagogy is a pedagogical rehabilitation method dealing with the development of people who are living with brain or nervous system injuries. The goal is to develop an orthofunctional personality, to acquire the ability to live independently, to develop proper coordination and automation of the nervous system. Learning social adaptation, social life, mastering the ways of communication, perception of information from the outside world, promoting one’s own needs. This profession is a named shortage in the labour markets in America, Norway, Sweden, Russia, New Zealand etc. Hundreds of families come to Hungary from abroad because of Pető’s method, but even so, Andráš Pető’s method is little known in Slovakia.
