I have just returned from a week way to discover quite a bit has been happening in Conductive Education, and in particular, the row about the funding of the services provided at Carson Street School in Australia.
Withdawal of funding from the government was announced due to the conclusion of a report on the system and a number of parents protested. This was followed by a report of 'doctoring' of the report and finally today an announcement that the funding will continue after all.
I have collected together the links to these stories on the Internet for those interested and they appear below.
