Professor Andr\u00e1s Pet\u0151<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The founder of conductive education was born on 11th September 1893<\/strong>, in Szombathely, Hungary as a son of a commercial father and a teacher mother.<\/p>\n

Having studying medicine at the University in Vienna<\/strong> and working in various hospitals in Austria, Andras Peto became an experienced neurologist<\/strong>. He was a pioneer in working with children with cerebral palsy by using a holistic approach to overcome any difficulties connected to their neurological motor disorders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through his professional and personal achievements, Peto have been actively trying to prove that despite the damage, the nervous system still possesses the capacity<\/strong> to form new neural connections and this ability can be mobilised with the help of a properly guided teaching and learning process<\/strong>. That is the reason why Professor Peto called his method Conductive Education<\/a> (Latin origin).<\/p>\n

\n

In the beginning of 1950, Peto founded his first Conductive Education centre<\/strong> which has been a foundation of the current Andras Peto Institute of Conductive Education and College for Conductor Training<\/strong> in Budapest, Hungary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Peto began to work with children with cerebral palsy, whose condition had been thought incurable and after a year an inspection committee reported that the children\u2019s condition had considerably improved<\/strong>. He provided motor therapy, special gymnastics, breathing exercises and motor education.<\/p>\n

„He put \u2018health\u2019 and \u2018illness\u2019 on another basis. He approached the problem with bio-psycho-social-holistic view. It appears in his terminology too \u2013 there is \u2018client\u2019 instead of \u2018patient\u2019, a dynamic process analysis instead of the causal approach, educative-reeductive learning together instead of therapy-curing, a conductor leads towards independence instead of a doctor-physiotherapist.”<\/em>*<\/p>\n

He worked persistently until his death. He died in the institute in 1967.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Peto’s mission and legacy<\/strong> have been carried through the years and the geographical borders; although the aim remained the same – to show individuals suffering from injuries to the central nervous system and their families the way to a full life and to make society aware of the opportunities to help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Nowadays, the Andras Peto Faculty of Semmelweis University<\/strong> (also known as Peto Institute) apart from providing conductive care to individuals with motor disorders<\/strong>; also prepares future professionals for implementing and practicing Conductive Education<\/strong>. If you can see yourself as a conductor in the future, feel free to check<\/strong> out the admission process<\/a>. On the other hand, if you or anyone around you suffer from a neurological based motor-impairment<\/a>, our services<\/a> might be helpfull for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
