CE at Carson Street School

CE at Carson Street School Conductive Education (CE) a unique, holistic educational programme available at Carson Street School.

Conductive Education (CE) is a holistic system of education which views people with neurological conditions as a whole, integrating education, rehabilitation and learning into one unified approach. It was established by Professor András Pető in Hungary in the 1940’s. He recognised that people with lifelong disabilities required a different learning model, hence the educational system. Neurological conditions create a wide range of developmental challenges which can involve areas of gross and fine movement, perception, cognition, social skills, emotional development, speech, language and communication. These in turn can significantly affect motivation, confidence and personality. Conductive Education enables those with a damaged central nervous system (CNS) to learn to overcome or reduce their disability. Although the disability can be defined, having a disability does not define the person. For further information about Conductive Education please visit our school website or contact: shona.ballantyne@education.wa.edu.au www.carsonst.wa.edu.au

Heute mal ein kurzer theoretischer INPUT für Euch alle: Die F‑Wörter von CanChild sind ein Herzstück der modernen Perspektive auf kindliche Entwicklung und Behinderung – entwickelt von Peter Rosenbaum und Jan Willem Gorter am CanChild-Zentrum der McMaster University. Sie basieren auf der („International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health“) der . Der Fokus liegt nicht auf Defiziten, sondern auf Stärken, Partizipation und Lebensqualität - genau wie in der KONDUKTIVEN und !

🐞Functioning (Funktion) – Wie das Kind Dinge macht; seine Fähigkeiten, seine Stärken 
🐞Family (Familie) – Das soziale Umfeld; wer unterstützen und prägen hilft
🐞Fitness (Fitness) – Körperliche (und manchmal mentale) Gesundheit & Aktivität
🐞Fun (Spaß) – Spiel, Freude, Aktivitäten, die motivieren
🐞Friends (Freunde) – Soziale Kontakte und Freundschaften 
🐞Future (Zukunft) – Wünsche, Hoffnungen und Perspektiven für den Lebensweg

Das Modell fördert eine ganzheitliche, ressourcenorientierte Sicht auf das Kind. Es soll Therapien, Pädagogik und Alltag (=Konduktive Förderung nach Petö) unterstützen, indem es nicht nur Krankheiten oder Einschränkungen adressiert, sondern sich auf , und konzentriert.
In diesem Sinne wünschen wir Euch jetzt noch tolle Pfingstferien mit Family😍, Fun🙃, Friends🤩und Fitness!😎 nächste Woche geht es zusätzlich weiter mit Functioning😉 und Future😘

Work continues,even in the holidays! Shona had the pleasure of catching up with Rebecca and discussing all things CE! We look forward to working closely with our colleagues in New Zealand in the near future for the advancement of CE. 🌈

While on a recent trip to Perth to visit family, Rebecca our National Coordinator caught up with the lovely Shona Ballantyne Conductor Teacher from CE at Carson Street School. It was fabulous for them to connect in person and discuss Conductive Education in Australia & New Zealand. Looking foward we are aiming to see a streghtening of the trans tasman relationship and coming together of Conductive Eduction in New Zealand 🇳🇿 & Australia🇦🇺.

A trip to the dentist can feel daunting for anyone, but for people with special needs, it can be an especially overwhelming experience.

That’s why we've delivered this purpose-built Special Needs Dental Clinic - to provide specialised care for patients with disability.

Here, every patient’s unique needs are met with tailored strategies in a calm and comfortable environment.

And for those who find it too overwhelming to come inside, there’s even the option of being assessed from the comfort of their car.

It’s all about making sure everyone can get the oral health care they deserve - and that all West Aussies have access to the healthcare they need, when and where they need it.
