Conductive Education for children and adults living with cerebral palsy, stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, brain injury and other neurological conditions. It’s learning to do everyday movements, like sitting, standing, walking and using your hands, by saying each step out loud and counting it through. We bring it to your home, school or care home.
A task series, the conductive way
Saying the action out loud and counting it through (rhythmical intention) is used in Conductive Education to help people plan, start and finish a movement, then use it in everyday life. Every task series is written for the person in front of us, so this is an illustration, not an exercise to try at home.
Who we help
Whether a diagnosis came last month or decades ago, we start from where you are now and what you want to be able to do next.
Babies, children and teenagers with cerebral palsy, developmental delay, dyspraxia and other neurological or genetic conditions, at home, at nursery and at school.

Support for adultsWe travel to you
Skills are easiest to use when they’re learned in the places you use them: your own chair, your own stairs, your own classroom.
We visit homes, schools and care homes across Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Stourbridge, Birmingham and the surrounding area. Travel within that area is included; further afield, we agree a mileage charge with you before you book.
One-to-one sessions in your own home, built around your routines, your furniture and your family.
Small-group and one-to-one sessions for residents, with simple ideas staff can use every day. Book a free taster.
Sessions and advice that fit the school day, working with teachers, teaching assistants and EHCP goals. Support for children.
We’re planning small local groups, including for people living with Parkinson’s or after a stroke. Ask us and we’ll let you know when they start.
Our approach · Conductive Education
Conductive Education was developed in Hungary by Dr András Pető, who believed people with movement difficulties should be taught, not treated. It’s now practised around the world. With skilled teaching, rhythm, repetition and plenty of encouragement, people practise the movements they need for everyday life.
A conductor is trained to look at the whole person (movement, communication, thinking and confidence) and to build all of it into practical, real-life tasks. Sessions are active, structured and friendly, and every one ends with something to carry into the rest of your week.
We work alongside your NHS team, not instead of it. Conductors are specialist educators rather than physiotherapists or occupational therapists. With your permission, we’re glad to share goals and progress with your NHS team, GP, school or case manager.
Getting started
Every price is published, so you’ll know the cost before anything is booked. See prices and ways to pay.
Fifteen minutes to talk about what’s happening now and what you’d like to change. We’ll get back to you within two working days. No obligation.
Up to 90 minutes where you are. We watch, listen and agree a few clear, personal goals, with a written plan you keep. £180.
Regular sessions at home, school or your care home (£75 an hour, or £60 for 45 minutes), plus simple practice ideas for in between.
Every eight weeks or so we look at progress together and set the next goals.
Who you’ll work with
I’m a conductor. I came to Conductive Education later in life, going back to university at fifty and qualifying in 2015 with First Class honours. Since then I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages.
I set up NeuroAchieve UK so that more people can get this kind of specialist, practical support where they live: in their own homes, their schools and their care homes.
A free, no-pressure phone call to see whether NeuroAchieve UK is right for you or the person you care for.
