What has Conductive Education done for me?

Further to my previous posting on adults, I have looked at the library's holdings of experiences of Conductive Education written by adults. These are very powerful accounts, making the strongest recommendations for Conductive Education, and have been used to influence the financial supporters of the system over the years.

A bibliography of these is up on the library page of the Foundation for Conductive Education's web site but in need of updating so I have published the updated version below. If anyone knows of any others, please let me know.
