I was sent a link to some photos on the Internet which I thought I would mention on this blog.
Conductive Education centres all over the world have posted pictures on their websites illustrating their work with children, but these are very different. They are black and white, not colour, and carefully shot so they are more like works of art in their lighting and composition. Very interesting.
Click on the following link to see these forty-nine photos taken by Stuart Freedman of children in the Peto Institute, that have been posted as a slideshow. They are not dated and include a number of pictures of a British boy, Joe Pallot.

Gill, wanting to bring your Freedman pictures to the attention of a Sheffield photographer who last year worked with us, it cam to me that I could share some of his work with you and your readers.
Please take a look at http://bit.ly/4zQNnv
These are photos of our young adult group as you will see. The photographer, David Shapiro, was briefed to focus on the person, not CE or the disability.
We think he succeeded brilliantly.
many thanks! these pictures keep us going, us who work abroad and advocate for Conductive Education endlessly.
Thanks, Norman, for posting the link to my images for you at Paces, Sheffield. Stuart Freedman's images from the Peto Institute are wonderful. He's an inspiration to me as a relative newcomer to pro photography, so I'm very pleased to have the opportunity to see his work.
Thanks for these comments.Its good to get feedback and know people are interested in postings. I know it is very difficult to take the 'right' pictures in Conductive Education, and it sounds as though these are on the right track.
