We are delighted to announce the release of our newly updated “What is Conductive Education?” document.
This refreshed resource provides a clear and accessible overview of Conductive.

Importantly, this updated document was newly developed in collaboration with the Conductive College and the PCA Committee, building on the discussions and outcomes of the 2024 workshop. This collective process has ensured that the document reflects shared professional insight, current practice, and the voice of our wider community.

As our profession continues to evolve, it is essential that we articulate who we are, what we do, and the difference Conductive Education makes. This document represents a unified and collaborative step forward.

We are proud to share this important resource and thank everyone involved in its development.

⏳ The countdown has begun!

In just 7 days, the PCA Conductive Education Conference — proudly hosted by The Rainbow Centre — will be here!

After a full year of preparation, careful planning, and organising inspiring speakers from across the Conductive Education community, we are so excited to finally welcome you all.

This year’s conference will bring together conductors, professionals, families, and supporters to share knowledge, research, practical experience, and lived stories. It’s an opportunity to reflect on best practice, explore new ideas, strengthen professional connections, and celebrate the impact Conductive Education continues to have on children and adults with neurological conditions.

We hope this event will be a space where meaningful discussions lead to fresh inspiration, stronger partnerships, and renewed confidence in our shared mission.

Our aim is that everyone leaves feeling better connected, better informed, and motivated to continue making a difference in their own settings. The conversations we have and the ideas we exchange have the power to shape practice, strengthen our community, and positively impact the individuals and families we support.

We can’t wait to see you there!
