It is good to come together for the purpose of sharing, co creating and for mutual expansion.

Why do I like it?
Orthofunction is a product of interactional relationships between a person and the environment.
This phrase emphasises our responsibility of changing not only the child, but the environment as well. 'Curving the marbel'is the reconstruction of the context in which the child lives in, in fact constructing the upbringing environment.
Only if we did our educational mission in both sphares, the child and the environment, a real change may occur."

Dear Rony,

Thank you for your response and for your all rounded, holistic point of view. Good job I am sitting next to my laptop preparing for tomorrow’s Conductive Education presentation at Bournemouth University for third year physiotherapy students so I can answer everyone quite quickly.

You have a very valid comment when you point out the following “Only if we did our educational mission in both sphares, the child and the environment, a real change may occur.”
When we are looking at a child or an adult who comes to us, we must build our pedagogical approach (which aims to facilitate the growth, health and well being of the multifunctional and multifaceted individual) on the premise that we look at, work with and take into consideration both the micro cosmos and the macro cosmos we are all part of and so intricately connected to.
If we all realised the importance of this, our work would be more interesting, more enriched, more beautiful, more enjoyable and more successful.
When Dr. Petö said bring order into disorder, learn and teach a better way of organisation, recognise and show each other the beauty of the world, believe and let everyone believe that they can and will learn, create an environment where everyone feels that they belong to and so on… He didn’t just mean have a well organised, clean and tidy environment, structured and inspiring programmes with high expectations, but he meant a lot, lot more…
If any of you out there reading this post and want to play, brainstorm and add more value to everyone’s understanding and knowledge of Conductive Education please watch the film and tell us what else he could have meant in your opinion?
