Description
Conductive education for children with cerebral palsy was imported from the Andras Peto Institute for Motor Disorders in Budapest to the Birmingham Institute for Conductive Education and was evaluated by a team from the School of Psychology, University of Birmingham, sponsored by the Department for Education. Part 1 of the team's final report summarizes the background and context of conductive education and the main findings of their assessment of its effectiveness in the UK when compared with existing methods of special education.

Description
Part 2 of the report gives full details of the team's methodology and findings, summarized in Part 1. Given that a major thrust of the study is a comparison between contrasting forms of special education in their efficacy, the report presents extensive tables and figures comparing the performance and experiences of the group of children at the Birmingham Institute with those of a comparison group of children enrolled in traditional programmes in three schools in Greater Manchester. The report concludes that the data from the assessments must be regarded as disappointing in the light of some of the claims made on behalf of conductive education by its proponents.
