Asking questions about Conductive Education

Giving an accurate, informative and easily understood explanation about Conductive Education is not the easiest thing to do. This week I found on the Internet the frequently asked questions with answers that was put up on the Foundation for Conductive Education website in 2000.

I passed this link on to Andrew who has been commenting on it too at

I presume the term FAQ is still commonly understood as many sites, especially those concerned with financial payments still have such a page.

This seems to me to be a good way of  getting the basics understood. It can provide succinct clear answers to questions about the philosophy, principles, terminology, use of the furniture and perhaps the most frequently asked question of all - 'Is it a therapy?'

There has been some discussion recently about the use of this term used to describe Conductive Education in the US so a new set of FAQs might just help to reinforce the facts and highlight inaccuracies commonly accepted. These could consider the use of the word orthofunction too and elaborate  the pedagogical  aspects as they are in 2011.
