Fostering independence

• This approach aims to promote independence and the perception of the patient's independence abilities, particularly by working on daily tasks. For example, each movement is thus decomposed to be better performed and repeated in the different postures inherent in daily life.

• As Dr. Maria Hari wrote, the basic philosophy of conductive education is that "everyone must finish what they have started. This principle means that any function or action, even a thought, cannot be interrupted, it must be carried out. This also applies to people with disabilities, caused by structural alterations, who start an action and seem unable to finish it. The way to achieve this must be found. »

 

The emulation of the group

• The method is also based on group emulation and the development of daily routines in the form of task series. 

​

Comprehensive and coherent care

• The child is accompanied by a "driver" whose particularity is to be a polyvalent educator, trained in four years in psychology, physiotherapy, speech therapy, psychomotricity, to design global exercises, as opposed to traditional more fragmented care and thus a global care of the child by the driver.

 

The courses alternate motor and cognitive exercises

• The driver stimulates the child's gestures through verbal guidance called "rhythmic intent". It accompanies the participants' activities with a rhythmic verbalization, in the form of a nursery rhyme, a song or a simple sentence

 

The equipment used 

• Very specific equipment has been developed to enable the exercises to be carried out.
