“The staff at Paces have taught our son how to walk independently around the school and at home and safely outside using single walking sticks. He has become a very independent young person who was told at a young age it was unlikely that he would ever walk” A Paces Parent

What’s Conductive Education about?
OUR STORY
Small Beginnings 1980s, 1990s
In the 1980s a small group of parents were casting around trying to find a better way of supporting their children with Cerebral Palsy and physical disabilities.
They heard about
THE PETŐ INSTITUTE in Hungary, founded by
DR.ANDRÁS Pető
1893 - 1967
Conductive Education He believed in a holistic approach to education: the development of the whole child socially and emotionally, along with movement, speech, mental ability, communication, self-care and cognitive
skills.

Hi, I’m Marlow!
It was that sense of
empowerment given to children, of motivation and purpose that drew
us to Conductive Education.
The plan to open a permanent centre in Sheffield had begun!

It was the first time I felt
confident leaving my daughter somewhere. I knew that even
though she had so many physical complexities they would know
what to do.
So in 1992…
Summer Camps
…From 1992 Paces held annual
Summer Camps for 100 pupils and their families, in association with SCOPE and with 50 Conductors
from the Pető András Institute…
…Then we heard about an old derelict
secondary school about to be bulldozed…
…After a MAMMOTH amount of
fundraising and with the Pető András Institute and SCOPE, Paces opened a small school in
1995 in Norton, offering Conductive Education…
