But, it‘s not all work and no play. "Basically, we let the kids be themselves. We let them make faces at each other, and in mirrors, to develop their facial muscles. They blow bubbles . . . "We look at the child‘s personalâ€" ity as a whole, we‘re not just dealâ€" ing with certain aspects of function. We work with the whole person, instead of concentrating on any one particular movement." What may appear at first glance to be physiotherapy for these chilâ€" dren is actually ‘Conductive Education.‘ The child makes the movements, assisted only when necessary â€" much unlike physioâ€" therapy where the child‘s moveâ€" ments are manipulated by the theraâ€" pist. "*Conductive Education,‘ which was developed in Hungary by (the late) Dr. Andras Petd, teaches chilâ€" dren and adults with motor disabiliâ€" ties to maximize the normalcy of their motor functions," says Hutchins, who chairs PACE â€" Positive Action for Conductive Education, the organization that overseas this and other local ‘Conductive Education‘ camps for physically disabled children. It "teaches a practice of activity (rather than passive submission to being manipulated), and so proâ€" motes physical fitness while guidâ€" ing the students through detailed sequences of motor tasks. Increased skill and selfâ€"esteem follow. Not a therapy but‘a special education, ‘Conductive Education‘ is taught in classroom formats, where peer dynamics foster both competitiveâ€" ness and mutual encouragement." PACE was formed as a voluntary group of concerned parents of 22 children aged 2 to 8 who attended and benefited from last year‘s three summer camps, two at the Hugh MacMillan Centre in Toronto and one at ErinOak in Mississauga. The camps were supported by the Ontario March of Dimes, Easter Seals Society, the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association, and the Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy â€" organizations which have continued their support. That was ‘We let the kids be themselves‘ the first time ‘Conductive Education‘ was introduced to this area, hence seven trained ‘conducâ€" tors‘ were brought here â€" four from Hungary and three from Israel, to add to the one Toronto resident who was trained in this capacity, a fourâ€"year course including physiolâ€" ogy, psychology, education, speechâ€" language pathology and music. This training is available only in Hungary, Israel and England. "The camp was considered by all of us to be a huge, enormous sucâ€" cess," said Hutchins. Corporate, community and individual donaâ€" tions totalling about $35,000 covâ€" ered the cost of running the three camps. So successful were they that PACE organized five camps this summer, three in Toronto and two in Oakville, for a total enrolment of 45 children, 2 to 10, at a cost of about $60,000. Conductors were brought in California, Vancouver, and Hungary. "The philosophy behind ‘Conductive Education‘is that all of these physically disabled chilâ€" dren have within themselves a great amount of ability. They need to learn how to use their own resources and abilities within their own bodies," said Hutchins. "Our motto for the children is ‘I Can Do It.‘ For example, Emily has learned to reach out and manipulate her hands to pick up a cup. She‘s been taught how to put all of these differâ€" ent processes together to perform this task. Marc Hutchins, right, follows closely the progress made by his daughter Emily, 9, at a ‘Conductive Education‘ camp in Oakville. (Photo by Peter McCusker) : first time ‘Conductive (including Emily) got much better ucation‘ was introduced to this physically, and they gained and a, hence seven trained ‘conducâ€" _ immense amount of selfâ€"confiâ€" s‘ were brought here â€" four dence, which is an important psyâ€" m Hungary and three from Israel, â€" chological thing â€" believing they add to the one Toronto resident can succeed at doing certain o was trained in this capacity, a things." "Last year the kids at our camps Hutchins noted Canada is "very benevolent" towards its disabled population, resulting in "doing a lot for its disabled people. It‘s teaching disability versus ability. It‘s teachâ€" ing them to accept a handâ€"out, that everything will always be done for » you. Although made available to chilâ€" dren only locally, ‘Conductive Education‘ has been successfully used in the rehabilitation of adults who have suffered stroke, postâ€" polio syndrome, brain injuries, mulâ€" tiple sclerosis, and Parkinson‘s, in several countries around the world where this approach has made greater inroads. ‘Conductive Education‘ was first developed by Petd in Budapest, Hungary, in 1945. The approach remained virtually unknown around the world for almost 50 years, and was not discovered until television viewers watched a BBC film titled ‘Standing Up For Joe‘ in 1986. The film documented the progress of a very young boy at the Peté Institute, and after some controversy, led to worldâ€"wide interest in this revoluâ€" tionary ‘new‘ program for physicalâ€" ly disabled children.
