Yesterday a conductor referred me to a piece on the internet, put up in May 2008, about conductors at the Peto Institute using Wii to motivate and stimulate adolescents with cerebral palsy. Thank you, Kati.
Using the Wii once a week has improved muscle tone, balance and standing and the short film shows how much enjoyment and satisfaction is achieved along the way. Conductive Education showing how adaptable it can be without losing any of its core principles.

You will be able to find out more about this development.
It is in Hungarian but use of the translator should help those who need it and just watching the film as I did, by clicking on the picture of the boy holding the wii controls, tells it all.
