“We now know that the System of Conductive Education is specifically a humanist social education, a complex educational system which takes serious account of emotional and cognitive functions.
Many scientist regard it as one of the most outstanding developments of 20th century rehabilitation and education work, since as regards integration, it was far in advance of its time.
Pető’s Conductive Education occupies a significant place in the system of education of the 20th century.
Pető put his opinions and theories into effect in real life with great precision and their validity was proved by the results which were achieved.
His education demonstrated the complex nature of the human organism, and following on from this the programme and system which made use of the connections and interactions reshaped rehabilitation work and in essence laid the foundations of the independent science of conductive education and conductive education collage.
For his work professor Pető received several disciplinary warnings, but also -at the end of his life- recognition. “

This place changed my son's life completely. We cannot lose this facility or the incredible staff who work there.
Conductive education works. My daughter is walking because of them. Keep it funded!!
Keep it open. The government should be ashamed for letting it get to this point.
Please dont let this institute die. It is a national treasure and the world needs it more than ever.
Such a vital service for so many families. Praying for a solution soon.

So sad to hear they are struggling. Dr Peto's work is too important to just go away.
